What are you working on?
I am working on a collection of poetry, titled Empires of the Everyday, that looks at how imperialism is ever present and often operates invisibly in the contemporary quotidian. The “I” of the poems is the voice of a piece of AI machine technology that is fed news and spits out text exposing the history and ongoing presence of colonialism and state violence.
