Love in a Time of Technology

Whether in the heart of downtown Toronto, a bookstore in Boston, the courtyard of the Taj Mahal--through the portals of cyberspace--on the banks of a Tampa river, or a journey through time to Georgetown, an old Caribbean colonial capital, love circumscribes everything. From Indo-Caribbean author, Sasenarine Persaud,Love in a Time of Technology is no wide-eyed outpouring; the poems probe and question concepts and beliefs, poke fun at age, companions taken for granted, and the realization that, like a mannequin in a Manhattan storefront, love is "faceless and, almost, raceless." If love circumscribes everything, these poems show that everything--economics, politics, ambitions and exiles--also circumscribes love.
