DaZE

by Matthew Cooperman

Contains poems which form a prospect on time - the passing of literal days, the ephemerality of the body, frangible memory, and the crisis of late modernity. This book is divided into three sections - "view", "ink", "bed" - in which the poems deploy a series of odes, calendrics, personations, textual deformations and possessive identities.
