Reviews
"McDonough works to humanize the technologies that carry out our most dreadful acts and forces us to examine the ways in which we abandon--or, perhaps more accurately, ignore--our agency in order to protect our fragile consciences." --Hobart "While it may sound as if Reaper is a grim book, full of dire poems on technology, the opposite is true. This is a most human book, peppered with poems that reveal human emotions." --Rain Taxi "It's a dark, and darkly hilarious, book that manages to delight and disturb at the same time." --Minnesota Public Radio "...knowing what you don't know can turn out to be more than enough. Jill McDonough's new book [...]broods over the technology of war -- in particular the development of robots, drones and other methods of outsourcing human intelligence and morality to code and circuits." --David Orr, The New York Times Book Review "McDonough examines the distancing of culpability and repercussions that follow when there's a computer screen and a continent between a soldier and the dead. . . . Her writing is gritty and unapologetic, refusing to let even the reader off the hook." --Literary Hub "Reaper knocked me flat with its utter breathlessness, its grim and terrifying lyricism, and its relentless re-angling of the magical haven we like to call the future. In deftly crafted stanzas that shove urgently at our perceptions, McDonough paints a stark picture of a soulless tomorrow ruled by the technologies of convenience--a tomorrow we just might stop if we could." --Patricia Smith "Words that come to mind to describe Jill McDonough's agile, alert poems are: humanity, sociability, clear-eyed, oxygen-filled, and humor. Also: morally serious and deeply thoughtful. Reaper's such a readable book--in tone, so intimate and cheerful--that one almost doesn't notice that it's full of poems about technology, death, and war. Also love, also hope: '...we have all the time anybody else/in the world gets. All the time we need to say/the right thing, find new right things to say.'" --Daisy Fried
Synopsis
These dark, straightforward poems showcase the power of technology by painting a vivid picture of America's expanding drone program and the havoc we wreakand then ignorearound the globe. McDonough offers the past, present, and future as non-linear timelines, and explores how the intersection between man and machine is starting to blur, and how we're losing qualities essential to being human., These dark, straightforward poems showcase the power of technologyby painting a vivid picture of America's expanding drone program andthe havoc we wreakand then ignorearound the globe.

From "My Sister Wants to Buy My Dad a Drone For Father's Day": What a pain in the ass to have a sister like me, who won't just fork over her share of the dough. Who has to feel dumb ways about things, distracted by names like DarkStar, Scan Eagle, Shadow, Wasp Block. Who doesn't want a toy airplane with a camera? My dad is not going to shoot suspected insurgents, hover over his neighbors' homes for days. Technology is fungible. Also really cool. Drones don't kill people, people et cetera. People drown in water. But I still want to drink it. Jill McDonough is the winner of a 2014 Lannan Literary Fellowship and three Pushcart prizes. She's received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Fine Arts Work Center, the New York Public Library, the Library of Congress, and Stanford's Stegner program, and taught incarcerated college students through Boston University's Prison Education Program for thirteen years. Her work has appeared in Poetry, Slate, The Nation, The Threepenny Review , and Best American Poetry . She directs the MFA program at UMass-Boston and 24PearlStreet, the Fine Arts Work Center online., A targeted look at America's drone program and our culpability, questioning what, if anything, we've learned from our brutal past

The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great. This was the last book in the series that I needed and to be able to find it in such great condition and at a great cost was unexpected. Highly recommend this seller and will definitely buy from again in the future.MARTIN THE WARRIOR (REDWALL) By Brian Jacques - Hardcover **BRAND NEW** (Nr. 187149385105)
- t***s (44)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe Item itself I rate five stars. The seller, however, I stop at four stars. The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
