Press About
the Book
Ben Lerner’s
second book is an extended meditation on the commercialization
of public space and speech. Combining philosophical
insight with poetic experiment, political outrage
with personal experience, Lerner’s prose
poems and lyrical sequences examine how technologies
of viewing—aerial photography in particular—replace
God with a camera and feed our spectacular culture
an image of itself.
