Fighting Fermi explores the pressures of the contemporary world - the violence on all levels of society, the division between people split by any number of fractures, the alienation created by social media culture, looming disease and population growth, the threat of climate change - on fatherhood and the guilt that comes with bringing up children in an uncertain world. These poems examine intersections of science and spirit, our lives in the moment and as works in progress, technology and nature while always leaning into questions surrounding the things that make us human - our relationships, the things we cherish, and the things we're desperate to hold on to but can't.
