Cursed Objects

by Jason Christie

Now that we've sold ourselves to ourselves, shuffling letters and sounds around to hide the pain, how do we represent the uncanny valley in which we've set up shop? In Cursed Objects , Jason Christie recoils in horror at the thoroughness of his self, then begins to write toward a new understanding brokered between all the things that define him and who he thinks he should be and interrogates how we reduce people to words, especially online, turning them into objects.

i loved the play of this book, its whimsy, the way form matched the content. these were playful, unique poems full of humour and humility with the occasional 21st c. rant thrown in.
