Matthea Harvey's Modern Life

Modern Life, another excellent poetry collection by Issue 1 contributor Matthea Harvey, has just been published by Graywolf Press. If you're looking for some thought provoking poetry about robots, humans, and the future of terror (or even if you aren't), pick it up.

“Matthea Harvey's vision of America is spooky, apocalyptic, and beautiful: proof that there is wonder in even a dark time like ours.” - George Saunders
