Witty, cutting, and poignant, missing e. is a collection of cut-up poetry which finds beauty in the digital mundane. Author Simone Parker pulls apart Tumblr users' unique verbiage and twists it back together into insightful, moving, and often humorous poems which explore themes of romance, pop culture, queer youth, and growing up online in a shifting internet ecosystem. missing e. is unafraid to cut into the belly of the political environment of the last ten years, laying bare the rhetoric of censorship, political infighting, feminism and rising masculine extremism. While the work often speaks to niche memes and events, each poem is rooted in a fundamental humanity which will ring true for native Tumblr users and internet neophytes alike.
