Sinopse
“Virtuosic . . . one of our most talented and daring poets . . . Hivestruck crackles with Toro’s critical vision and dazzling wit.”—John Keene, National Book Award-winning author of Punks: New and Selected Poems
A poet whose work has focused on Puerto Rican and Latinx history and identity poses the question of what makes us human, and technology’s part in that process, through a decolonial lens
Vincent Toro’s third collection of poetry is a work of Latinxfuturism that confronts the enigmatic and paradoxical relationship human beings have with technology. The poems are a tapestry of meditations on social media and surveillance culture, satires on science fiction and the space race, interrogations of artificial intelligence, cyborg economics, and biohacking, and tributes to women and queer and BIPOC people who have contributed and are contributing to human survival and progress in a technology obsessed world.
Resumo da Crítica
"The expansive third collection from puertoriqueño poet and performer Toro (Tertulia, 2020) scrutinizes and satirizes tech-obsessed contemporary life with gigapixel resolution. Vocally, stylistically, and typographically inventive, Toro's maximalist lyrics touch on connectivity, politics, consumerism, and aesthetics in electric language . . . Brilliant and buzzing, Toro's latest underscores his place as one of the preeminent poet-prophets of the Anthropocene.”—Booklist (starred review)
“The ever-inventive Toro takes a galactic step forward in his long-standing diasporican exploration of indomitable poetic forms, developing a cyborg poetics and politics that works as a critique of imperial technocapitalism and as an imagining of its ruptures . . . Amid all the cool noise and verbivocovisual explosions and expansions, I especially enjoyed the moments when Toro shows off his lyrical and formal rigor.”—Intervenxions, The Latinx Project at New York University
“Vincent Toro’s virtuosic new collection Hivestruck shows how one of our most talented and daring poets engages with our socially mediated world, on screen and off, decoding and recoding to create an original aesthetic in the process. Crackling with Toro’s critical vision and dazzling wit, and utilizing an array of innovative forms and language, Hivestruck is poetry from the present and future worthy of the best buzz, 'provid[ing] . . . specs to build new / possibilities.'”—John Keene, MacArthur Fellow and National Book Award-winning author of Punks: New & Selected Poems
