Ted Rees’s Dog Day Economy is a tenderly confrontational journey through punk textures, a phantasmagoria that positivizes cynicism as a tool against oppression. Rees’ earthy inventiveness recalls such New Narrative forebears as Kevin Killian and Kathy Acker, mixed well with the wistful, whiskey-drunk wit of the Mountain Goats. Dog Day Economy is a political bonfire inside an antique mall, sharp without forgoing lyricism, sentimental where it counts, but otherwise unsparingly incendiary.
Ted Rees is a poet, essayist, and editor who lives and works in Philadelphia. His most recent book of poetry, Thanksgiving: a Poem, was a finalist for a 2021 Lambda Literary Award. His first book was In Brazen Fontanelle Aflame and chapbooks include the soft abyss, The New Anchorage, and Outlaws Drift in Every Vehicle of Thought.
