SCREENAGER: A Poetic Commentary on Our Digital Age, by Liberty Brooke

Poetry, chapbook, 20 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

SCREENAGER, as a collection, is deeply rooted in a care for humanity, community, and our common home. Rapid advancements in technology and the subsequent ‘digital age’ that we’ve found ourselves in is not inherently good nor bad. To fixate on a good/bad—black/white framework is to ignore the nuance that SCREENAGER seeks to explore. SCREENAGER as a socio-cultural commentary carries criticism, celebration, and a desire for real, person-to-person connection on every page.

Do you have what it takes to be a SCREENAGER? To survive and thrive in a digitally invasive, immersive culture? To connect via screen and in-person social cues? Crack open the cover and find out!
