From the late 15th century onwards, a flurry of voyages were made
into the North Atlantic in search of fish, the fabled Northwest
Passage, and beyond into the territories purely imaginary. Today,
this vast expanse is crisscrossed with ocean and wind currents,
submarine cables and wireless signals, seabirds and passengers,
static and cargo ships. In her long-awaited poetry debut,
award-winning digital writer and artist J.R. Carpenter transforms
the dense, fragmented archive of the North Atlantic into an
astonishing sea of fresh new text. Cartographic and maritime
vernaculars inflected with the syntax and grammar of ships logs and
code languages splinter and pulse across the page. Haunting,
politically charged and formally innovative, An Ocean of Static
presents an ever-shifting array of variables. Amid global currents
of melting sea ice and changing ocean currents, Carpenter charts
the elusive passages of women and animals, of indigenous people and
migrants, of strange noises and phantom islands.
