Michael Peters is the author of Vaast Bin (Calamari Press), as well as other assorted language art and sound works. As certain as he is uncertain of access to “the real,” Peters frequently probes this periphery in a variety of old and new media, utilizing sound-imaging strategies as something like a poet, a visual poet, a fictioneer, an essayist, an ecologist, a musician, and a programmer. He recently played the part of Bosse-de-Nage in Faustroll’s remake of Pierre Boulle’s Planet of the Apes.
