This third collection from Jennifer Sperry Steinorth continues a trajectory of genre-bending poetry, this time in collaboration with artist Jenny Walton, whose documentary series \u003ci\u003eMatch\/Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e creates a visual algorithm of her experience on OKCupid and explores how men-seeking-women represent themselves via anonymity. In the first half of the book, watercolor portraits of single men are paired with irreverent \"sonnets\" gazing into the mind of a fictional woman looking at the men, looking for love. The second half is a maximalist kaleidoscope, masquerading as elaborate end notes, a diagnostic of loneliness through a wiki-esque labyrinth of technology and iconography. The culmination is a carousal of sex, selfies, heroes, and techies, what we long for \u0026amp; the many ways we hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJENNIFER SPERRY STEINORTH's books include \u003ci\u003eBoys Behind Glass\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Wake with Nine Shades\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHer Read, A Graphic Poem\u003c\/i\u003e, recipient of the Texas Institute of Letters' Fred Whitehead Award and a \u003ci\u003eForeword Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e Bronze Prize in Poetry.
