Live Feed

by Tom Thompson

The poems in Live Feed examine how we live our lives on-screen. The commerce machine often assumes the persona of "the city," a place where the speaker seeks an accommodation between urbanicity and organicity, attempting to make some sort of whole of our fractured society, sensibilities, and lives.

[Rich · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disjointed in places, and very surreal. Reminds me of James Tate, if James Tate didn't have that lovable sense of humor of his. The disjointed nature comes largely from an over abundance of internal line space, but a lot of the collection's flaws are made up with some powerful resonant imagery.
