For Heather, the metalogue seemed to provide a way to think through how knowledge is structured, as ‘the creation and interaction of ideas must necessarily exemplify evolutionary process’ (Bateson 1972, 21)

TRACT/TRACE is not a project so much as a projection: gesturing towards the future, a virtual and physical site of inquiry. We are interested in creating the space for a collaborative experiment somewhere between book and journal, blog and conversation. We see TRACT/TRACE as a type of blueprint of investigations into poetics and poetic practice. TRACT/TRACE hopes to foster a space for conversation, writing, correspondence, a science laboratory and graphic design studio for writers: a site of experiment but also presentation: a gallery space for linguistic alchemy. Writing towards the edge of what is both vital and unknown. TRACT/TRACE is a place for queer, marginalized, and otherwise undercommon voices; for writers of and in the body; for discussions on community and survival; for activists; for lovers; for phenomenologists and all types of feelers; for organisms who believe in a livable life; for sussing out tactics for a livable future.
