The Collected Typos of Aaron Tieger
Tuesday 13 January, 2009
Geof Huth:
Accidents are not omissions.
So begins The Collected Typos of Aaron Tieger, with an epigraph by the author himself. It all seems appropriate. His words here, in this slim attractive chapbook, are words he created, but accidentally and wrested out of their original context. This is a book—well, the title (I first typed “tytle” but Microsoft Word corrected it quickly) tells all—of typographical errors, slips of the finger as Aaron wrote . . . whatever. I like to think that he was writing poems when these errors occurred, but he just as easily could have been sending an email to his friend Mark Lamoureux. A note to himself. Regardless, these are all (and each) notes to us.
