Soft Science
Poetry Collection by Franny Choi
“Places heartbreaking and humanizing poetry about the intrinsically gendered, political experiences of the poems’ speaker next to cyborg poetry that feels (and sometimes is) computer generated.”
–Dana Alsamsam, [PANK]
“Throughout the collection, Choi plays with language, manipulating typical definitions, sentence structures, and grammatical rules in order to reject what we have come to think of as the norm. This opens up options for how we choose to view ourselves and the world around us.”
–Shannon Austin, Fields Magazine
