BOOKS AUTHORED:
mUtter-bAbel (Counterpath Press: Denver, Colorado. 2013)
mUtter-bAbel, a graphic and textual exploration of ugly archaic feelings and their troubling social effects. It is a verbo-visual experiment integrating handmade drawings with computer-designed texts, exploring very early feelings babies have for their mothers. Whether because many people cannot remember these (at least consciously), or because they do not consider such material interesting, infantile experience has rarely been the overt subject of poetry.

The Brooklyn Rail –Written at the Body, Christine Wertheim with Alexandra Chasin

+|’me’S-pace (Les Figues Press: Los Angeles, 2007)
“Written in a time when many are questioning if we still need formalism and feminism, Christine Werthiem’s +|’me’S-pace, doc. 001.b is a spirited and fun defense of both. Written, in part, as a didactic instructional manual that cannot keep itself from constantly going astray into beautiful and challenging language play, this is a book that asks crucial questions and reconfigures recent histories. It is essential for its arguments.”
– Juliana Spahr

Feminaissance (Les Figues Press: Los Angeles, 2010)
“The writings gathered here prove feminism to be alive and more relevant to all genders than ever: not just because feminist discourse remains a political necessity, but because of its artistic and intellectual pleasures.”

Séance: Meditations in Experimental Writing – Co-edited with Matias Viegener (Make Now Press: Los Angeles, 2005)
Séance is a volume of readings and papers on the subject of the condition of language and narrative in contemporary writing. Pairing poetic formalists and sex writers, language poets and pataphyscial researchers, the collection examines the translation of the ordinary into words, from the extraordinary writing of sex to the supposed disappearance of the author. Further sections are on the phenomenological training of the person, radical artifice, and the magic of letters freed from the grid of the page. Featuring work by by Charles Bernstein, Dodie Bellamy, Christian Bok, Dennis Cooper, Robert Gluck, Kenneth Goldsmith, Shelley Jackson, Ben Marcus, Eileen Myles, and Joan Retallack.
