From wikipedia: Derek Alexander Beaulieu (born 1973) is a Canadian poet, publisher and anthologist. Beaulieu studied contemporary Canadian poetics at the University of Calgary. His work has appeared internationally in small press publications, magazines, and in visual art galleries. He has lectured on small press politics, arts funding and literary community in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Iceland. He works extensively around issues of community and poetics, and along those lines has edited (or co-edited) the magazines filling Station (1998–2001, 2004–present), dANDelion (2001–2004), and endNote (2000–2001). He founded housepress in 1997 from which he published small editions of poetry, prose and critical work until 2004. The housepress fonds are now located at Simon Fraser University. In 2005 he founded the small press no press. In 2005 he co-edited Shift & Switch: new Canadian poetry with Angela Rawlings and Jason Christie, a controversial anthology of radical new poetry which has been reviewed internationally. Beaulieu has shifted his focus in recent years to conceptual fiction, specifically visual translations/rewritings. His book Flatland consists of visual patterns based on the typography of Edwin Abbott Abbott's classic novel Flatland and his book Local Colour is a series of colour blocks based on the original text of Paul Auster's novella Ghosts. How to Write, a collection of conceptual prose, was published by Talonbooks in 2010. Beaulieu lives in Calgary, Alberta.

look at all these keyboards! most people only see one keyboard at a time, but children often simultaneously perceive many, which is exactly one 'm' more than 'any'. placing a 'why' at the end of 'man' is another way to get many. and how! questions are usually more interesting than answers anyway? other possible uses of a keyboard: sushi platter, percussion instrument, doormat, bookshelf, face washcloth, wagon (add 5 wheels), coffee filter—a measure of infinitude. one might think that at least part of a keyboard would make an effective lock unlocker, but one would be wrang. 'getting keyedboard' happens when someone (a foe or stranger) runs a keyboard across the paint-skin of someone else's vehicle. And if you're still reading this, you're likely getting keybored. when people get so tired that they start emitting zzzzzz's from their face-sound-speakers while also doing anything, that thing might just turn zzzzzany!
