There is no history of poetry without love poetry, and there is no history of media without pornography. After his first collection of poems received a starred review from Quill & Quire, Darryl Whetter turned his attention from evolution in the natural world to the co-evolution of love, sex and media. Urging readers to “fill the tiny / unmade bed of the search box,” these alluring poems build on radically changing communication technologies to explore a new sexuality that does (and does not) dare to tweet its name. Here, finally, is the language of digital love.
