Description

Lewis Warsh

Alien Abduction is Lewis Warsh s first full-length collection of poems since Inseparable (2008). Warsh extends his exploration of the way fragments of thought and feeling and experience come together to form the illusion of a solid object that can also explode into a million pieces at any moment. The whole is never the sum of its parts. A kind of doomsday hopelessness both invigorates and subdues all questions of what it means to be a living and breathing human. These poems are personal, direct, and elusive at the same time. An accomplished fiction writer, it s no wonder that Warsh s poems are often guided by hidden narratives, stories inside stories, with no beginning, middle, or end.
