Bill Bly's We Descend Readers' Traversals & Interviews
Both Kirschenbaum and Padilla made excellent readers for the Traversals. Kirschenbaum is the Associate Director of MITH and a leading scholar in Digital Humanities. He had served from 2006-2009 as Vice-President of the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO). He serves as curator of The Bly Collection and, so, is familiar with the work. Margo Padilla was a graduate student at the University of Maryland and from 2013-4 a Resident in National Digital Stewardship Program, an initiative of The Library of Congress in the area of digital preservation. While she did not know We Descend, her training in digital preservation prepared her for a careful reading of Bly's work.
