Misc. Americana: poems

Description:

How do you navigate the quiet pressures of "normal life" during ongoing crisis?
And what does it mean to keep your humanity in an era designed to numb you?

Trista Mateer, bestselling author of Aphrodite Made Me Do It and the pandemic-era collection Girl Isolated, returns with a bold chapbook of contemporary American poetry. Blending dark humor with sharp observation, these poems capture the tension between public headlines and private life-rage, grief, tenderness, and the stubborn choice to keep caring.

For readers drawn to political satire and resistance writing, this collection offers a timely look at modern America, and the ways people endure, adapt, and refuse to go numb.
