Every writer looks forward to those reviews when the critic really understands what the book is trying to do. Selena Mercuri has done just that in her review of NMLCT in The Seaboard Review of Books. I am grateful. What a wonderful way to start the day!
"In NMLCT, Vermeersch creates a multimedia experience that mirrors the hybrid nature of contemporary digital life. The reader must navigate text, image, and code much as we navigate our daily digital environments. The poems argue for the irreplaceable value of human consciousness, intuition, and embodied experience in an age increasingly dominated by algorithmic thinking. NMLCT reminds us that the animal city, however threatened, remains our true home."
