Description
Crawford's poems explore a world on the cusp of machine dominance in which binary code is poised to overshadow verbal language as the global lingua franca. But the planet depicted in this book is also "binary" in that it is shared between human and machine-as well as teetering on the (similarly binary) cusp of hope and dread. The reader will encounter aspects of many contemporary entanglements between human and machine, such as hunger, racism, and war. Nonetheless, these poems never lose sight of the ephemeral beauty of the everyday.
