This book of poems about fake news written by diverse project participants is an invitation and invocation for readers to participate, with others, in an experiment in knowing and working differently with the internet. My Phone Lies to Me shares the poems created around the world in more than twenty workshops directed by Alexandra Juhasz. Fake News Poetry Workshops are one way to counter dominant and dominating internet modes and values, to fight the corrupt ways of being and knowing that use digital media to create, fuel, and weaponize fake news. Alexandra Juhasz is a Distinguished Professor of Film at Brooklyn College, CUNY. She makes and studies committed media practices that contribute to political change and individual and community growth. She also writes about her cultural and political commitments in more public platforms, including Hyperallergic, BOMB, MS, X-tra, and Lamda Literary Review.
