Mapping an uncanny journey through the clusters of media we encounter daily but seldom stop to contemplate, Pugh's focused descriptions, contrasting linguistic textures, and acute poetic music become multifarious sources of beauty, disruption, humor, and hurt. Here, Netflix and YouTube share space with eighteenth-century paintings, Italian graffiti, ballet, Kurt Cobain's recordings, and even a collection of rocks. Whether technology is a vessel for joy or grief in these poems, it is always an expression of our continuing desire to invent and to mediate. At once personal archive and cultural barometer, \u003ci\u003eStardust Media\u003c\/i\u003e traces the moving constellations of life in the distant twenty-first century, \"a kaleidoscope \/ . . . half-filled with sky-blue glass-cut blossoming, \/ then labored to crystallize.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHRISTINA PUGH is professor of English in the Program for Writers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and consulting editor for \u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e.
