About
Perceived Distance from Impact forgot to charge its phone, got lost, and is almost happy about it. These poems are catalogues, unorganized purses, they are late to the party and forgot to RSVP. They are also unquiet, unapologetic, and unafraid to explore passionately, expose their hearts nakedly, and fight back fervently. Hilliard’s speakers cling to the coast, film, computer science, queerness, and race-all in an attempt to stitch together a self in a world uninterested in the process.
Kamden Hilliard is a ferocious and savvy, edgy and on-edge, whip-smart and hold-no-prisoners new voice in contemporary poetry. Through erasure, remixing, imagining, and laughing, the poems in this vivid new collection ask how close a person can go to pain. Once there, can you return?
FROM PYTHON
def is used to define a function. a function
stores an action [or series of actions].
equality requires more resources, and is repped
by two equal signs. inequality is denoted
by an exclamation point and an equal sign.
PYTHON’s IDE is called IDLE and i’m glad it’s got time
for me. pypy’s indentation mirrors the code’s execution.
a well written PYTHON program can do anything
[mostly]. the most common programming error
is the syntax error. PYTHON does not understand you.
stop mumbling. PYTHON needs you to bend and fix
your snapback. Youtube loves PYTHON. Sam Jackson
in Snakes on a Plane does not love PYTHON.
if PYTHON is a euphemism for dick,
which it is, i too, love PYTHON. Aaron Schwartz
[the less sexist co-founder of Reddit] called programming
languages magic, which makes me Jafar in this bitch.
an Integrated Development Environment known as an IDE
is the globeless world before god. new Rollercoaster
Tycoon career file. when PYTHON say language,
it mean language. it means another way toward love.
