Paperback. For Trapped Things by Brian Kim Stefans collects poems written during our recent overlapping crises: environmental degradation, the dangerous election, the imposition of false freedoms by techno-capitalism, and the increasingly fraught relationship of the individual and the State. By turns fierce, funny, vulnerable, and elegiac, the poems engage both with traditional forms and meters as much as with recent developments in the avant-grade. A collection of poems written between, roughly, 2016 and 2021: mostly short, lyrical, tart, angry with the government, with a lot of rhymes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781931824590
