Firmly rooted in the modern world, with all the paraphernalia it entails, the poems of this collection are fascinated with life in the digital age and cut away at it with a razor wit while still finding unexpected beauty in the seemingly cold. From the invented locales of modern society such as supermarkets, airports, and parking garages to Hollywood action movies and classical music, these poems pick away at the wild side of human life and the strangeness of human behavior in a world that sustains and, precariously, endures.
