    About this ebook

    This book grew partly out of a suggestion Liu received to take a theme from his previous full-length collection (Map of an Onion) and dig deeper into it. He began researching "wild west" which led to a decrepit theme park ghost town in Japan, leading to the original Westworld movie and artificial intelligence. The result is a collage of poems musing on today's culture of toxic masculinity. Galleys (and eGalleys) available 4-6 months in advance of publication
