In Praise of Daniel Y. Harris’ The Posthuman Series
(The Metempsychosis of Salvador Dracu, Volume VI, The Resurrection of Maximillian Pissante, Volume V, The Misprision of Agon Hack, Volume IV, The Reincarnation of Anna Phylactic, Volume III, The Tryst of Thetica Zorg, Volume II, The Rapture of Eddy Daemon, Volume I)
Daniel Y. Harris’ The Posthuman Series is an intoxicating brew of quasis: scientific, esoteric, bibliographic, geologic, lettristic. Who knows what poetry lurks in the heart of codes? It’s as if we are privy to the history of knowledge from its other side, before as much as after. These poems are an explosion in a pataquerics factory.
—Charles Bernstein
Daniel Y. Harris’ The Posthuman Series is uncanny and disturbing. It’s impossible for the reader to escape its mix of Silicon Valley and Lurianic interspace.
—Harold Bloom
Daniel Y. Harris’ The Posthuman Series is an amazing tour de force!
—Marjorie Perloff
In Praise of The Tryst of Thetica Zorg, Volume II, The Posthuman Series, (BlazeVOX, 2018)
At once timestamped and timeless, Daniel Y. Harris collapses technology and theology into a dense Trojan horse / Trojan virus of a poem. By siphoning the modernisms of Arno Schmidt, Maurice Roche, and James Joyce through the digital, Harris exquisitely extends the discourse of endless textuality into the twenty-first century. Astonishingly original and shockingly new, lovers of experimental literature will celebrate this monumental achievement.

Finally: a posthuman translation of Shakespeare. I'm glad Daniel Y. Harris beat Watson at it. There are still large chunks of human in his kind lineation.
—Andrei Codrescu
In The Rapture of Eddy Daemon, Daniel Y. Harris has composed a wild poetic drama through realms of eros and spirituality. His writing is simultaneously playful and profound, transmuting ancient symbols and concepts into a contemporary wisdom, heretofore unknown in poetry.
