It is an intergenerational reclamation of the narratives foisted upon Indigenous and queer Hawaiians -- and it does not let readers look away"--

A series of Turing Test-inspired poems grounds its exploration of questions not just of identity, but of consciousness -- how to be tender and feeling and still survive a violent world filled with artificial intelligence and automation.
