Connie Mae Oliver’s poems hold the moon between thumb and index finger. In her retrospective framework of adolescence, memory’s scaffolds are showing. Thought is spatial; the mall is a circuit where the mind walks around itself and back again. Science Fiction Fiction knows it’s an incomplete record of a disappeared Miami. It’s also a trailer for eternal life as a computer, where we attend to what has passed through us and remains encoded in the obsolete technologies of younger days: “the internet nymphaeum.” Against experts and toward experiences, in the digital archive of memory impressions, Oliver goes skimming.
