Digitek

Digitek in Virginia Beach, VA is home to Silas Maxwell Switzer, a queer archivist, musician, and poet known for his debut collection, Nine Parts Water, One Part Bleach. Switzer's poignant poems uncover and document Pittsburgh's local queer history, shedding light on the erasure of queer identities and calling for a deeper exploration of queer recovery and lyricism.

With a focus on social and environmental injustice, Switzer's work serves as a call to action, capturing the essence of forgotten lives and landscapes while resurrecting touchstones of queer culture in the face of the AIDS epidemic. His evocative language and intimate portrayal of history warn against the dangers of complacency and forgetting, making Nine Parts Water, One Part Bleach a powerful and thought-provoking collection.
