In light of exciting new developments such as CRISPR that would allow us to alter genetics and eradicate certain diseases, this book approaches ethical questions from an angle that science cannot. Ultimately, CODE is a book about grief-specifically, how to accept it. These poems attest to how we preserve what is lost, not only through story and poetry, but also through nonverbal means like cave art and DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharlotte Pence, Mobile's Inaugural Poet Laureate, is the author of \u003ci\u003eCode\u003c\/i\u003e (recipient of ASPS book of the year), \u003ci\u003eMany Small Fires\u003c\/i\u003e, (recipient of the Foreword Reviews silver medal Indie Poetry of the year) and \u003ci\u003eThe Branches, the Axes, the Missing\u003c\/i\u003e (recipient of the Black River Chapbook Prize).
