“Does anyone have a charger?”

View this post on Instagram

Finished @margaretchristakos “Charger” yesterday (@talonbooks ): a tremendous book wedged into this moment of technological mediation, and its effects/affects on our bodies, relationships, language, family; the poems traverse across the spine of the book as call and response text conversations, as separate entities and poems divided, surface and stratum, external and internal. The charge, charger of the poems speak to the extractive nature of day to day, the taking and recharging asked or that we might be complicit in; where does this energy come from, and where does it go? In this way, it is a book about connections and being connected, and again, about the nature of those connections, past (to parents, to memories) and present (to children, to those publics around us). . Bought @knifeforkbook ! Thanks @itsakirby ! . . . . . . . #poet #poets #poetry #poem #poems #writer #writers #book #books #bookstore #bookstores
