Ex Machina Jonathan Ball 1º edição

Poetry. A long poem at the fringes of the Canadian tradition, EX MACHINA is a latticework of poetic and philosophical statements concerning the symbiosis of humans, books, and machines. A series of three intertwining sequences, the reader is encouraged to move back and forth from statement to statement, seeking development but meeting frustration. The reader thus becomes a larval stage in the poem's development, forging connections between its disparate parts during the course of this mental processing, as the text evolves over multiple readings.
