Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "Roberto Harrison's Daemons are loops (as in computer-generated, or installations using sound) yet his series of continuous loops does not repeat but adds: to make being 'in the wilderness full.' The first person, as if that were only an operation, merges with the author himself who's only a marker 'in the raftering circuits.' His poems replicate to invent oracles as counters to image- making."—Leslie Scalapino
"Roberto Harrison's COUNTER DAEMONS offers tremendous reach, a vision of a world that has come into its own cybernetic post-surrealism without ever quite acknowledging just how nightmare tinges the dream. There's subtlety & grandeur, even wry wit at the edge of the apocalypse. Read this book & you will look at the world differently. And you will definitely, absolutely, positively never look at the first person singular in the same way again."—Ron Silliman
