Description From the Poet Laureate of San Jose, these poems salvage memories from the wreckage of the Challenger disaster, drink shots with the poltergeist haunting the local dive bar, and resurrect the wisdom in the harsh words of departed lovers.
Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse beckons us into dark corners in ways that let our eyes adjust, revealing a splendor we would have otherwise surely missed..
At times, Perez is terse and pragmatic.
The mundane is no longer insignificant- the nightmare no longer insufferable.
His images activate a new way of seeing.
In his debut poetry collection, Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse, David Perez takes snapshots of a world under collapse to show us the parts worth saving.
