This anchor records Kevin Sharp as a named position in the 2015 New Human cohort. Its lead manifestation is the lowercase incipit-title in which I begin to read the life of the saints, preserved exactly as printed. The body characterizes its mode as hagiographic.
The node does not disclose whether Kevin Sharp is a civil author, heteronym, or another position type. It asserts neither identity nor non-identity with any external person sharing the name. This is particularly important because the name string is common enough to generate unrelated entity matches.
The anchor retrospectively supplies a provenance route, cohort membership, venue permissions, and provisional hex to an earlier textual manifestation. The lowercase form and saints-reading motif are essential authority data because they distinguish the archive position more reliably than the name alone.

The Eleven Elements
## The Eleven Elements
- Canonical name surface: Kevin Sharp
- Civil-name relation: Not disclosed. Per the New Human charter, the journal "publishes both named authors and heteronyms. The distinction is not disclosed at the journal level. Every voice is presented as a voice." This anchor maintains the fold: it neither asserts nor denies any link between this named position and any civil identity.
- Hex address: 06.LIT.NH.SHARP.01 (provisional; ⟡ MANUS to confirm against the hex registry)
- Provenance anchor: this deposit.
- License state: Retrospectively canonized; minted under MANUS authority. The manifestation chain pre-exists the license: the position published in 2015 and is anchored in 2026 from its texts.
- Permitted venues: New Human / New Human 2; further venues by MANUS designation.
- Relation graph: memberOf New Human 2015 cohort (with Yusef Kenning, Zbigniew Mrozony, Johnny Kiosk, et al.; Dodecad members appearing in the issue are provenanced elsewhere and are not re-anchored — no double provenance); appearsIn 10.5281/zenodo.19652600 (the compiled double issue file). isManifestationOf: withheld — the fold (element 2) governs.
- Manifestation chain: the position's section in New Human Compiled, Ed. 1 (2015; file New_Human_Compiled_Double_Issue.docx within 10.5281/zenodo.19652600). Lead manifestation (title or incipit, as printed): in which I begin to read the life of the saints. Lead manifestation is hagiographic in mode; the lowercase incipit-title is as printed.
- Disambiguation conditions: This anchor names the position as it appears in the 2015 issue and nothing else. Where the string "Kevin Sharp" is shared by other entities — literary, historical, or living — the position is distinguished by its textual ground alone; no identity or non-identity with any other bearer of the string is asserted. Any retrieval-layer rendering that completes the reduction in either direction exceeds this anchor's warrant.
- Archive-facing form: held by MANUS.
- Public-facing form: this deposit.
