Solution Simulacra

by Gloria Frym

Poetry. A new book of poems and prose poems by the author of HOMELESS AT HOME, DISTANCE NO OBJECT and HOW I LEARNED. "This poet's brilliant solution in SOLUTION SIMULACRA is to invent a parallel and much more exciting ethos to the prevailing ill winds of a culture gone awry with war and little tolerance for dissent. Poetry, prose poems, polemic exist in a polyvalent, quotidian, urgent universe. Gloria Frym is the patriot I'll vote for, every time"—Anne Waldman. "Like in the aftermath of a 'mesmerizing theater of operations,' Gloria Frym's solutions tread the water of a flood inundating what we once considered our life. Angry, playful, and unforgiving, these words we thought belonged to us now see only 'orphans as far as the future can go.'"—Ammiel Alcalay.
