Jon Thirkield’s Infinity Pool Published by University of Chicago Press in Phoenix Poets Series
A new book by Jon Thirkield, part-time assistant professor for Media Studies, titled Infinity Pool is published by the University of Chicago Press‘s Phoenix Poets series.
Diving through illusions and phantoms of virtual realms and into the human desire for boundless possibility, Infinity Pool charts how technologies have become embedded in our minds, bodies, and lives. Immersed in a world of data streams, neural nets, spider algorithms, and electronic terminals, Jonathan Thirkield’s poems plumb the dissonances and shrinking distances between ourselves and digital technologies, imagining what becomes of the fragile machinery of the human body amid a rapidly transforming world.
A book release party will be hosted for his poetry collection Infinity Pool at Unnamable Books, 615 Vanderbilt Ave. in Brooklyn, on Wednesday, September 25th, 2024 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
