SVEN BIRKERTS—director of Bennington’s Master of Fine Arts Writing program—is perhaps best known for The Gutenberg Elegies, a critical exam of the future of reading in the digital age. He’s made something of a name for himself as literature’s favorite analogue advocate. So it was a surprise to many to find @svenbirkerts on Twitter this year.

Here’s a taste, but follow him for the full dish.
