Everything Seems Significant

Book excerpt: Poetry. Drama. California Interest. Film. "EVERYTHING SEEMS SIGNIFICANT sails and embraces... such a deep, kaleidoscopic dive it takes. This is brilliant, inspired work. So much has been written about Blade Runner, but none of it penetrates like this. The spell of it all is distilled and caught in the sly, prescient grip of Bottiglieri's poems."--Hampton Fancher, Co-screenwriter for Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 "Astonishing! This book uses Blade Runner as a template to deal with much more. Jan Bottiglieri knows Roy Batty, Pris, J.F., Tyrell, and Deckard very, very well, evoking them beautifully. Her work is every bit as rich and original as the movie. It's Blade Runner, the poet's cut."--David Peoples, Co-screenwriter for Blade Runner and 12 Monkeys "For fans of Blade Runner, this poetry is a journey deep into the mind, heart, and soul of a classic, neo-noir, science fiction saga. The images flash, and shuffle, creating hiraeth--nostalgia and longing for a place we can never visit, which may never have existed. Powerful poetry; intimate moments."--Richard Thomas
