A Book Riot Must-Read Poetry Collection
Soft Science explores queer, Asian American femininity. A series of Turing Test-inspired poems grounds its exploration of questions not just of identity, but of consciousness--how to be tender and feeling and still survive a violent world filled with artificial intelligence and automation. We are dropped straight into the tangled intersections of technology, violence, erasure, agency, gender, and loneliness.
"Choi creates an exhilarating matrix of poetry, science, and technology." --Publishers Weekly
"Franny Choi combines technology and poetry to stunning effect." -BUSTLE
"...these beautiful, fractal-like poems are meditations on identity and autonomy and offer consciousness-expanding forays into topics like violence and gender, love and isolation." -NYLON

Who is a new voice in poetry that we need to check out? Someone with a debut book or recent release?
I love Franny Choi’s work too — Soft Science and The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On. I’m just excited about speculative work in general, it’s such fertile, strange ground and especially right now, no matter if it is poetry or fiction. But for poetry in particular, it is wonderful to see the Hugo awards open up towards poets.
