An innovative, whimsical exploration of the effects of technology on everyday life.Click and Clone explores the tone and timbre of American life as it has been colored by the new m etaphors and images brought to us by our continuing technological revolution. Equi is interested in a new form of realism—one that acknowledges the fact that what we think of as normal and everyday is now permeated with the fantastic. These poems draw on the conventions of science fiction and surrealism. Clones, lucid dreaming, and a tarot deck constructed from old movie stills are just a few of the marvelously routine occurrences in this maze of interlocking worlds and poems. Whether she is writing about art, pop culture, consumerism, or reality TV, Equi does so with clarity and wit. As inventive as she is agile, this author is a true original. Show more
