Shaiye reads from his new book, Are You Borg Now?, described by author Douglas Kearney as a book that, "cyphers with trauma through a poetics of refusal via hard and beautiful language. Finding vigor in Islam and mirrors in Star Trek: Voyager, Shaiye shifts achingly between memory and improvisation". Shaiye is an Autistic Somali writer and MFA Candidate & Graduate Instructor at the University of Minnesota. Shaiye has published poetry & prose in 580 Split, Entropy, Diagram, Rigorous, and elsewhere. After the reading, Shaiye discusses the book, with an audience Q&A to follow.
