Overview

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.
