Mark Zimmermann's latest work is an exploration of modern-day Americana that touches on the cost of bedpans, the cost of funerals, and everything in between. With muckraking brio, the poems in this chapbook skewer militarism, corporate propaganda, greed, and violence in everyday American life, whether in professional sports, the medical-industrial complex, or elsewhere. In Bomb Threats, Zimmermann has produced a body of work that is nuanced, witty, and smart while getting at the heart of what it means to live in American mass society during these unprecedented times.
