His most recent publication is Resnikoff, Ariel. Unnatural Bird Migrator. Brooklyn: The Operating System, 2020. Unnatural Bird Migrator stitches together disparate filaments of diasporic language as a living quilt of translational refuse, a patchwork-art gleaned and assembled from the pieces of writing and speech we are quite literally taught to forget. The book traverses the semi-permeable borders between doubling and tripling mother tongues in exile, looping these languages through one another and back again in the form of a highly adaptive poetic boomerang that returns from the “other side” of the linguistic threshold already changed. Dr. Hayyim Rothman Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship, 2018, Philosophy, Bar-Ilan University Hayyim is a researcher of Jewish thought focusing on the intersection of Jewish religion and anarchist thought in the 19th and 20th centuries.
