Description
In this hybrid poem about militarized drones and militant angels, Elizabeth abandons her career as a physicist to become a museum administrator, finds god in the basement below the galleries, and dies there. But that is not the end.
A virtuoso blend of form and genre, ELIZABETH/THE STORY OF DRONE takes readers on a journey through terrain in which the personal and the political collide.
