Are Friends Electric? is an audacious new work by the author of the prizewinning collection Graft. Helen Heath delves into liminal spaces, finding points of connection and revealing a complex and layered understanding of our place in the world and what we could become. These new poems offer a vivid and unsettling vision of a past, present and possible future mediated through technology.
