Voyeurism and fact go head to head in\u00a0Port of Being<\/i>, a debut book of poetry that mines speech from the city streets and the internet. These are poems set firmly on the threshold of the private and public, the future-haunted and the real, forging the human adrift in a terrain of space junk, drones, and addiction.\u00a0Port of Being\u00a0<\/i>speaks just in time, navigating the worlds of surveillance, migration, and money, only to carve a way into intimacy and connection.<\/div>\n
