Lapse Americana

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring themes of memory and amnesia, the collection features poems that reflect on the poet's childhood during the Pax Americana, contrasting it with the turmoil of the new century. Drawing from rural, working-class experiences and rich poetic traditions from America, Europe, and China, the work blends formal and jazz-like styles. It examines faith and doubt, presence and absence, ultimately highlighting the importance of both remembering and accepting forgetfulness through the lens of the twin ravens, Thought and Memory.
