- The Cloud Versus Grand Unification Theory
'<p><b>Consciousness and nostalgia in the Swipe Right age</b></p> <p>This collection attempts to find poetry, or what Gwendolyn MacEwen once called a single symmetry, amid the chaos of 21st-century life. A powerful catalogue of loss and human connection, it considers not only how our identities are formed by places and experiences rooted in childhood, but also by digital newsfeeds, YouTube, and the gospel of Spotify. These poems intimately confront topics as diverse as quantum physics, video arcades, mental illness, climate change, road rage, alcoholism, endangered species, and even a gigantic Noah s Ark replica.</p> <p>Chris Banks is a poet known for packing his lines with thought and feeling. Building on the generous work of John Koethe, Larry Levis, and Ada Limìn, Banks s wildly expansive, often lyric, deeply accessible poems are brilliant meditations on what it means to be human in a brave new world of cloud computing and smart phones.</p> '
