Matthea Harvey's "Modern Life" introduces a new voice that tries to
exist in the gray area between good and evil, love and hate. In the
central sequences, "The Future of Terror" and "The Terror of the
Future," Harvey imagines citizens and soldiers at the end of their
wits at the impending end of the world. Her prose pieces and lyrics
examine the divided, halved self in poems about centaurs, ship
figureheads, and a robot boy. Throughout, Harvey's signature wit
and concision show us the double-sided nature of reality, of what
we see and what we know.
