Description
Winner of Futurepoem's inaugural (2019) Other Futures Award.
In an era of disintegration, frack and melt, any human who wants to move away from habits of harm must feel for new ways to inhabit PLANET DRILL, using our signature bodily function: language. In Jessica Laser's Planet Drill, human language is like the slime-mold quietly recreating the subway map of Tokyo: deft, resourceful, pliant, responsive, and finally, collectively, wise.” — Joyelle McSweeney
