Synopses & Reviews
Expanding on the linguistic and political issues addressed in the poet's previous collection, this work forces readers to encounter and negotiate an insistent slippage of meaning. Exploiting language's inherent ability to shift, the poet demonstrates the incessant potential within writing to disturb all drives toward stability. Defiantly nonlyrical, this poetry achieves a neobaroque spirit within its regulatory skepticism.
