Creature, Wing, Heart, Machine - Paperback

by L. S. McKee (Editor)

2022 Zone 3 Press First Book Award in Poetry Winning Collection.

In CREATURE, WING, HEART, MACHINE, through a series of narrative and lyric poems, we follow the central protagonist, Alva, as she grapples with heartbreak, desire, mortality and her search for love in a world where both Nature and relationships are increasingly shaped by technology. From the desert to MRI machines to online dating to the Large Hadron Collider to the flora and fauna of natural and imagined worlds, Alva seeks meaning and the keys to human connection.
