Utopians in Love

by Bob Sykora

The poems in Bob Sykora's debut collection, Utopians in Love, travel back and forth through time, considering historical American utopian colonies in the context of contemporary heartbreak. They hope to ask what we actually can learn from the utopian dreams and failures of the past as we attempt to build a better world in the present.

picked this up in a bookstore in lawrence. intriguing interrogation of utopia particularly in america and i thought the historical pieces were handled much more deftly than the present-day ones.
