Sirens are alarms. In what forms and technologies do they arrive to us? Song and sign, poem and portent, images moving and still? Join us in celebrating the publication of SIREN (some poetics), co-published by Dancing Foxes Press and Amant. Designed by Gaile Pranckunaite, featuring extensive photography by Adrianna Glaviano, and edited by Quinn Latimer, SIREN explores technologies of myth and mouth, earth and alarm, gender and poetics.

SIREN includes poems by Bernadette Mayer, Sky Hopinka, Dena Yago, Don Mee Choi, Senga Nengudi, Ser Serpas, Mayra A. Rodríguez Castro, Katja Aufleger, and Anaïs Duplan; scores and scripts by Nour Mobarak, Patricia L. Boyd, Shanzhai Lyric, and Rivane Neuenschwander; songs and prisms by Liliane Lijn; parables and paradoxes by Franz Kafka; sirenic manifestos and passing thoughts by Bia Davou, Jenna Sutela, Aura Satz, and Rosemary Mayer; diasporic dialectics by Édouard Glissant and Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno; mother fragments by Iris Touliatou; essays by Quinn Latimer, Ruth Estévez, and Hana Noorali and Lynton Talbot; and a (prophetic) introduction by Christa Wolf and Cassandra.
