"The poems of 'Love, Robot' are delicate and smooth, witty and touching, and yes, occasionally odd and strange, as human beings themselves are. In a paradoxical and wonderful way, Margaret Rhee’s robot love affairs make us rethink what it might mean to be human." - Viet Thanh Nguyen A collection of love poetry that undercuts and reassembles narratives, 'Love, Robot' is an experimental text that humanizes our relationship with technology. Illustrating relations between humans and machine in a science fictional world, the collection offers a tense, and complex portrait of love, reflective of our contemporary moment. As a cross-genre collection, 'Love, Robot' draws in multiple forms and allegiances: narrative poetry, algorithms, chat scripts, and failed sonnets through a playful exploration of love. Through a vision of the artificially intelligent future, 'Love, Robot' reveals, and questions the contours of the human by asking what happens how robots fall out of love.
