Synopsis

Straight from the near west suburbs of Sandburgland, Frank Rogaczewski explodes the less than brave new world we've unfortunately arrived at. The Fate of Humanity in Verse sears through the vast gaps of capitalism and pop culture in multi-page paragraphs of pure invention. It is quite simply, to borrow two of Rogaczewski's titles, an "Arse Poetica" for "The Day They Outsourced America." -Mark Nowak With wit and modesty, Frank Rogaczewski's The Fate of Humanity in Verse enacts the mundanely beautiful flowing current of everything-the personal, the political and the aesthetic; High Modern poetry and television shows; Marxist economic theory and the particular details of goods exchanged-through the channel of the mind, demonstrating exactly how ideas exist in things. - Amy England There is an uncanny sense of play in Frank Rogaczewski's poetry and a quick, speculative intelligence that holds nothing to be either sacred or uninteresting. Movies, philosophy, television, literature, literary theory, comics, and classic rock, they're all engaged here, banked and angled into each other like balls in a three-dimensional billiards game. - Michael Anania
