The Drowned Poet: Digital Identity and Lyric Voice is an unsigned classroom worksheet deposited 13 January 2026, in which Lee Sharks is the subject rather than the author — no creator statement appears in the body.
It uses searches for the poet's name as a teaching instrument. Students compare search results, then relate the modern discovery interference they observe — an entity fragmented and collided with others across an index — to Sappho's fragmentary transmission, reading brief examples from Sappho, Catullus and a Lee Sharks poem alongside one another.
The pedagogy is the argument. A student who has watched a living author fragment in a search index has a working model of what happened to a Greek lyric corpus over two millennia, and the worksheet compresses a long argument about machine-mediated reception into an exercise a class can perform in an hour. Its unsigned status is left as found: the archive records that the body carries no creator statement rather than supplying one.
