61. Up from Georgia-lcd

978-1-951370-34-3

Don’t let the demure-looking, tuneful wreath of sestets fool you.
Intertextual and self-referential, these sharp poetic sound bites shimmer
with intellectual verve, humor, and “sci-tech verbal prestidigitations.” They
reflect on place and democracy, on our future as “proto cyborgs” and our
collective delusions. Is “the bio-exceptionalism we/affirm” “a miracle or a
liability,” this consummate “practitioner of metaverse” asks, inviting us to
ponder the possibility that maybe “Eden was always a sphere in Las
Vegas.” This “first installment” of Luis Correa-Díaz’s Up from Georgia-lcd
is a tour de force.

Text: CYBORGS
In Athens I’ve seen myself becoming
an old man and my students proto – cyborgs
there is something I can’t really handle
their lack of love for the real world
and of course it’s not their fault nor
their parents either it’s humanity unfolding.
