Giant Robot Poems

"Every day, our news feeds are crowded with dystopian reports of flame-throwing robots, killer drones, and cyber implants," writes anthology editor Randy Brown. "Against this virtual crush of ash and black, we wonder: If futurists and fiction-writers, warriors and wargamers can deploy their respective toolkits to probe potential threats and opportunities, why not poets?"

The book collects 92 poems involving concepts, narratives, and cautionary tales of "human-electro-mechanical-cyber interaction, connection, and competition." To motivate other writers, veterans, and readers, the anthology includes a special section of 7 discussion-starters and prompts, for use in writing workshops, book clubs, and other gatherings.
