eXp

By Steve Wheeler

eXp is a hybrid collection of poetry and short fiction that dismantles traditional literary boundaries to explore the raw edges of consciousness, culture, and collapse. Combining biting political satire and abstract inner monologues, Steve Wheeler builds on his previous works including The Infinite Now and Shocks & Stares, to craft a textual landscape that is as volatile as it is vulnerable-eXp is where dystopian daydreams and protest poetry collide.

In eXp, civilisation burns under the weight of its own mythology. Identity fractures under the noise of digital disruption. The human psyche, electrified by grief and uncertainty, spirals through dreamlike fragments into strange and sudden ruptures of conventional language. From the surreal lyricism of Synaptic Transition to the scorched-earth critique of The Ignited States of America, each poem experiments with form as much as with meaning.

This is not a comfortable read. eXp is a collection of poetry and prose that disorients, provokes, and invites readers to sit inside the noise-to experience the distortion, the entropy, the longing for something that is just beyond our reach.

Part cultural autopsy, part poetic transmission, eXp is a book for the fractured moment: it is open-ended, chaotic, disorienting, darkly humorous, and frantically seeking a signal of hope in the chaos and static of the world.
