from New Books in Poetry · host New Books Network

Chapbookapalooza 2014 Daniel Borzutzky Bedtime Stories for the End of the World Bloof Books, 2014 This is a collection in which the synaptic leaps have their own synaptic leaps. In direct confrontation with neoliberalism, Borzutzky holds nothing back. His verse levels the page like a chainsaw, leaving the surreal, bloodied and bare. “At times like this he thinks: I can say just about anything right now. This is, after all, a bedtime story for the end of the world. I am moving beneath ground and not sleeping and trying to cross the border from one sick part of the world to another” Prepare to be altered by these poems. Learn more about your ad choices.
