Richard Katrovas Bücher

A collection of poetic choral lyrics by Richard Katrovas.

Exploring the intersection of crime, art, and societal authority, Richard Katrovas reflects on his tumultuous upbringing with a criminal father and a struggling family. His essays delve into themes of race, class, and the impact of white privilege on his father's illicit activities. Through his experiences in academia and relationships with poets, he seeks surrogate father figures, while also contemplating his role as a father. The work celebrates the community of poets, examining the profound influence of art and artists in contemporary society with honesty and insight.

Exploring the intersection of personal struggles and broader societal issues, this collection of "punk formalist" lyrics delves into the fear of extinction and its connection to love. Katrovas writes from a place of uncertainty, blending reflections on faith and doubt with vivid imagery drawn from nightmares and erotic dreams. The verses serve as both meditative essays and emotional expressions, capturing the complexity of human experience in the face of existential dread.
