"Hypnotic, captivating, and daring, SILICON ANA: A Quantum Entanglement offers an innovative fusion of poetry and technology across parallel universes. Through tethered poetic narratives—a stigmatic visionary and a young woman encountering a Penthouse magazine—the book’s seven movements illuminate strange crossings of consciousness, desire, and possession through poetic computations. Drawing from Japanese tanka and quantum computing, SILICON ANA moves beyond the digital age into the AI era, reminding us that we are always connected, never alone, and issuing the provocative command: Born from stardust machine. Run

Hasegawa is a science-fictional visionary and a poetic alchemist, crafting strange, luminous, and haunting tales that provoke us to think, feel, and live more deeply across our present, future, and entangled worlds."

"Hasegawa is a twenty-first-century bard—a technologist and poet—who has chosen a 1,200-year-old poetic form, tanka, to tell a complex tale of body, consciousness, and code. With her unconventional approach, Hasegawa maps a terrain where religious ecstasy and technological possession become indistinguishable. SILICON ANA opens its doors in a public library, with the discovery of a porno mag stashed in the stacks: "’What curious hot / feardom! I grabbed it and flew / out the library // doors. It fanned out its pages / in the shell of my backpack.’ From this charged beginning, the book traces a movement into knowledge as perception, desire, and selfhood begin to shift and take hold."

“If this sounds scary, it is all that and so much more. And yet I am left with this question: Why do I find this text to be so hopeful in these times, especially in these times? I am inundated with declarations of all things false from all angles and all sides. Here is a work that cuts through that noise to arrive at the truth of existences in the present moment. Hasegawa has given us a salve for our gaping wounds.”
