valid, virtual, vegetable reality

Summary

valid, virtual, vegetable reality is written in a range of forms associated with 'transmission': from Roman georgics to the lesbian manifesto, from the satellite radio wave to computer programming code. The book is a queer manifesto for reimagining traditional poetic form through the historical formlessness and electricity of queer and lesbian sexual pleasure. The poems in this collection propose sex as a way to connect and disconnect; sexual fantasy as a way to virtually transform the city; and the citation of LGBTQI+ literary ancestors as a way to make a home.
