We\u2019re pinned against an understanding that \u201cmaybe I was \/ made for this soft tissue\u201d as we wade through various traumata: the eye-bleed caused by social media, anxiety disorder management, and the spectacle of horror heroines confronting \u201cWhat culprit? \/ What creature or vertebrae clacking \/ there.\u201d Yet alongside fear, there is tenderness here for us, \u201cmy honeydew,\u201d with glittering resilience. sensorium\u201cunwrapped my everything &amp; I am riven\u201d with my own sensations toward the lush reckoning Corwin offers toward the \u201canimalcule\u201d of our softer selves and assurance that \u201cthere is glinting still for seeing.\u201d &#8211;Carly Joy Miller<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Emily Corwin\u2019s unforgettable second book, sensorium, mythology and technology meet in the middle of the brain\u2019s digital gala. This ornate, visceral collection explores the frustration and wonder that comes out of the packets of data and sequined threads of text that reframe our algorithmic lives. At the same time, Corwin\u2019s striking poems are suffused with the tensions of the interior world caused by this screen-time scaffolding. They turn the public performances of the self inside out so that all of the arteries, bones, and metaphoric innards are in full view. There is no place to hide\u2014not for the speakers of the poems or for us\u2014from the relentlessness of our pop culture screens, our medias, and the mythologies we try to build for ourselves from them.&#8221; &#8211;Adrian Matejka<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>by Emily Corwin<\/h4>\n<p>Size: 6 x 9<\/p>\n<p>Pages: 57<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Choice<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4939,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[83887],"product_tag":[97659,211],"class_list":{"0":"post-4935","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-akron-series-in-poetry","7":"product_tag-affordable-learning-initiative","8":"product_tag-poetry","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"product-type-simple"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4935"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4935"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uakron.edu\/uapress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
