An outstanding collection of poetry about inventions and inventors,
real and imagined, assembled by editor and poet, Bernadette Geyer,
author of The Scabbard of Her Throat and a chapbook, What Remains.
"I was awed by the seemingly endless number of ways that poets
approached the subject. Naturally, there are poems about real
inventions-from clocks to pantyhose to chemotherapy drugs-as well
as poems that conjure fantastical inventions-such as a contraption
for kissing and a happy marriage machine. While some of the poems
in this anthology provide searing commentary on the dreadfulness of
some of the creations birthed by inventors, other poems offer us a
view into the stories behind inventions, as well as the lives of
real and imagined inventors. Whether invoking humor, irony,
historic research, or imagination, the poems in this anthology
converse not only with each other, but also with their readers and
the world at large, in service to the continued human drive to
create solutions-even to problems we didn't know we had." -
