The robot scientist s daughter launch reading


The Robot Scientist's Daughter is a book of poetry by Jeannine Hall Gailey, published by Mayapple Press in 2015. This collection, Gailey's fourth, deals with ecological issues, with a specific focus on the potential dangers of the nuclear industry, set against the backdrop of growing up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in the 1970s. "The poems that make up this collection move in a controlled way between fact and fiction, autobiography and fantasy, giving readers glimpses into the secret world surrounding ORNL in which Gailey grew up, at the same time as they tell the story of a fictional Robot Scientist's Daughter who was transformed by that world into something other, something monstrous."
