Description

Positioned at the intersection of poetic and digital culture, this collection explores the sense of placelessness increasingly resonant for all of us who live and working in the digital realm. Public. Open. Space. is a collection of poetry inspired by spaces, places and situations that are controlled and contested online and in real life. Looking at firewalls and feminism, activism and apathy, Public. Open. Space. explores freedom and suppresion, censorship and silencing, propaganda and protest, as well as the difference between being told 'no' and choosing to say it ourselves.

Reviews
