About this ebook
“Part exoskeletal enjambment, part shared soft biology, Automaton Biographies wends through creative industries and uncommon commons, picking up the shards of both our latent futures and our Polaroid pasts.”—Mark Nowak, poet
The first poetry book by novelist Larissa Lai (When Fox is a Thousand) is a multilayered “autobiography” that puts an ear to the white noise of advertising, pop music, CNN, and biotechnology, exploring the problem of what it means to exist on the boundaries of “human.” Lai, who teaches English at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, is prominent within the women’s, LGBT, and Asian American communities.
