Jennifer Scappettone, a translator, poet, and scholar, is the author of From Dame Quickly (Litmus Press, 2009). She is at work on Exit 43—an archaeology of the landfill and opera of pop-ups—for Atelos Press. Excerpts of that book appear in Belladonna Elders Series #5: Poetry, Landscape, Apocalypse (2009) featuring pop-ups and preface by Scappettone and work by Etel Adnan and Lyn Hejinian. Pop-up scores are being adapted for performance in collaboration with choreographer Kathy Westwater as LAND. She guest-edited a feature for Aufgabe 7 devoted to contemporary Italian experiment, and is at work on a range of translations, with a focus on the postwar polyglot author Amelia Rosselli.
