Reviews
"[Soft Science] is accessible for anyone wondering about identity, construction, destruction, and human connection in a digital world. . ." --Lambda Literary "Your only regret getting this book will be that Choi herself isn't there to read it to you..."-Fran Tirado, Out Magazine "[Soft Science] explores the blurs between organic and inorganic, reality and fiction, human and machine."--Rewire.News "Franny Choi's Soft Science offers an exceptional exploration both of all that comprises the intimate and of all that consumes the communal in our lives. Whether tracking the adventures of the 'cyborg' or eavesdropping on conversations between sisters, it's all the same world. These striking poems ring through with a singular voice, creating a society that helps us understand our own. When you open a book of poems, 'isn't that what you came to see?' Choi builds a world not only of striking beauty and lucid politics, but also, most importantly, with love." --A.
