Stefans was born in Rutherford, New Jersey and earned a bachelor's degree from Bard College and was awarded a Master of Fine Arts degree in Electronic literature from Brown University after studies at the Graduate Center, CUNY.[1][2]

His books of poetry include Viva Miscegenation,[3] Kluge: A Meditation and other works,[4]What Is Said to the Poet Concerning Flowers,[5] Angry Penguins,[6] Gulf,[7] and Free Space Comix.[8] Along with several chapbooks of poetry, his other books include Before Starting Over: Selected Interviews and Essays 1994-2005 (Salt Publishing, 2006) and Fashionable Noise: On Digital Poetics[9] which includes experimental essays on the role of algorithm in poetry and culture.

A resident of New York from 1992-2005, Stefans was an active participant in the poetry culture of the city as an editor and organizer, publishing numerous reviews in outlets such as Publishers Weekly, The Boston Review,[10] St. Mark's Poetry Project newsletter, Shark, Rain Taxi, Verse, Tripwire and other small journals in the United States and abroad.

Among other web activities, he created arras.net[11] in 1998, a site devoted to new media poetry and poetics where his interactive art and digital poems such as "Suicide in an Airplane (1919)", “Star Wars (one letter at a time)”,[12] “The Dreamlife of Letters”[13] and “Kluge: A Meditation” can be found. He is also a video artist, graphic designer and publisher of Arras Book, freely downloadable at arras.

Previous critical writings include “Conceptual Writing: The L.A. Brand”,[14] the series “Third Hand Plays”[15] for the website of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art concerning electronic literature, and "Terrible Engines: A Speculative Turn in Recent Poetry and Fiction”[16] that inaugurates his recent interest in applying concepts from recent Continental philosophy to new forms of literature. Writing on Asian American art and literature include “Remote Parsee: Asian American Poetry Since 1970”[17] and “Miscegenated Scripts: A Theory of Asian American New Media.”

Stefans's blog is Free Space Comix.[18] He presently lives in Hollywood and is a professor of poetry, new media and screenplay studies in the English department of UCLA.[19]
