Reviews

“Dreaming is after all a kind of thinking,” Jonathan Aaron writes in this new volume, his third in almost 25 years, and it’s hard to imagine a more succinct statement of his poetic method. Aaron has always used the peculiar instability of poems to his advantage: he builds tension from a poem’s ability to slip on no more than a phrase from the real to the symbolic, from the hypothetical to the unalterable.[8]

gollark: They have a regular structure, and you could store one bit per atom, which is a lot. The main problem is that you would probably need stupidly advanced technology to read and write them.
gollark: One very dense method for storing information in science fiction stuff is sticking it in patterns of isotopes in a diamond or something.
gollark: I don't think *individual* microorganisms store that much DNA (in bytes) so you would have to split it across many of them like some sort of vaguely insane RAID array.
