Bøger af Blake Middleton

Ah, to be young in America--nothing matters and everything matters. And yet through the pervasive nihilism and iron, Blake Middleton finds a truth radiating with terrifying love and a radical self-acceptance. "I looked at myself in the mirror just now," he write. "I just thought, this is what I am. Whatever I am. And that's okay."

A radically open and unrestrained text, an actual person in a concrete historical situation is a fragmented and meandering poem that captures what it feels like to be one person in a vast, overwhelming, crisis-ridden world. Generative rather than directive, the poem magnifies the small, overlooked moments in life; explores flickering thoughts, impressions, impulses; and wallows joyfully in unending confusion.
