Description

Port of Being is a debut collection of poems that received the 2017 Robert Kroetsch Award for Innovative Poetry. It explores the technologies of everyday life such as surveillance, freight, and the internet, and probes the human and non-human actors in our mouths and bodies, above and underneath the water, in satellites and fiber-optic cables.
