Description
A poet who "becomes the crisis itself brings language at his (and the reader’s) side to reflect on contemporary human condition. "—Dimitra Ioannou
CRISIS INQUIRY is a collection of poems in three parts that unsettles the lyric poem from within its constraints in ways that are both sardonic and searching. These poems probe the corners of a crisis of inquiry both intimate and general, inquiring into the registers, rhetorics, and scales of the various ongoing crises we live through daily. Iantosca’s third full-length collection of poetry, Crisis Inquiry stages satire and candor as alternating strides of the same figure, walking to and fro between you and me.
