In Jess Gregory’s poem "Unheard Elegy," dedicated to Steven Port, the speaker grapples with the tension between technology and human essence. As they press their nose to the glass, attempting to connect with laughter beyond, they feel confined by a sense of sensory deprivation, symbolized as a heavy prison anklet. A poignant meditation on isolation and the search for connection.
