Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse

<p><strong>From the Poet Laureate of San Jose these poems salvage memories from the wreckage of the Challenger disaster drink shots with the poltergeist haunting the local dive </strong><strong>bar</strong><strong> and resurrect the wisdom in the harsh words of departed lovers.</strong></p><p>In his debut poetry collection <em>Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse</em> David Perez takes snapshots of a world under collapse to show us the parts worth saving.<strong> </strong>His images activate a new way of seeing. The mundane is no longer insignificant- the nightmare no longer insufferable.  At times Perez is terse and pragmatic. <em>Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse</em> beckons us into dark corners in ways that let our eyes adjust revealing a splendor we would have otherwise surely missed.</p>
