Synopsis
Now that we've sold ourselves to ourselves, shuffling letters and sounds around to hide the pain, how do we represent the uncanny valley in which we've set up shop? In Cursed Objects, Jason Christie recoils in horror at the thoroughness of his self, then begins to write toward a new understanding brokered between all the things that define him and who he thinks he should be and interrogates how we reduce people to words, especially online, turning them into objects.

Review
"In these poems of wry discursive beauty and tipped structures, Christie explores objects and our relation to them. Wired to a wireless world, individuals, it seems, heed people and community less than we do our 'cursed' things. There is a fluidity in Christie’s Faustian bargains, a refreshment, and the gentle poems addressed in mid-book to his generation of poet friends affirm: we are not lost, just seeking." -- Erin Mouré
