CONFETTI by Poppy Cockburn
Salò Press
CONFETTI collects the digital residue of modern intimacy " screenshots, voice notes, late-night messages. Horny, banal, sweetly deranged, the fragments reassemble into an ode to the poetics of archived romance, flirting and failure to connect. CONFETTI documents dating app culture in its most performative and vulnerable states " a theater of pathos and comedy, a time lapse of ego in eros. In a book that synthesizes the dopamine of being hit up on Hinge " and the embarrassment of texting back " Minnisean extravagance merges with the strange stakes of a sociologist who finds herself mixed up in her own experiment. " Ulyses Razo, author of Personal Life It's impossible to put CONFETTI down once you start reading! If it wasn't so funny, so darkly entertaining, it would be devastating. A gripping, fresh journey through the turbulent sea of digital encounter, these poems are a testament to contemporary courtship, a PhD in sociology, confessions and questionnaires. They are truly a marvel! " Karólína Rós Ólafsdóttir, author of All in Animal Time
