Boston Globe Review of Battle of Silicon Valley at Daybreak

Battle of Silicon Valley at Daybreak has been reviewed at the Boston Globe & msn news.

See the review titled How We Live Now

Excerpt: Poet Alexandria Peary plugs herself in to the socket of this moment in her latest collection “Battle of Silicon Valley at Daybreak” (Spuyten Duyvil). Peary, the Poet Laureate of New Hampshire, captures the chaotic energy of online life, the relentless stream of appeals for your money, attention, desire, raising questions of what it means to “open this."

Cinquain Creations from Audience at Gibson's Bookstore Reading

 


To close the debut reading from Battle of Silicon Valley at Daybreak this past Tuesday, I walked the audience through the creation of their own 1-minute poem about social media using a form called a cinquain. 

A standard cinquain normally involves a 5-lined poem, Line #1 containing one stress; Line #2 containing two stresses; Line #3 containing three stresses...you get the idea.) 

I modified the form for the sake of the event such that Line #1 contains one word; Line #2 contains two words, etc. I gave line-by-line prompts: for instance, specifying that the third line consist of a prepositional phrase, the fourth line use a question. 

Check out the marvelous, modified cinquain created by audience members!
