In Lap Dance in the Port of the Multiverse, poet Francis Kirk constructs a surrealist dystopia that is simultaneously an alien planet and the world we already know. These spare and minimalist poems confront our toxic consumer culture through a lens of science fiction and the uncanny. In doing so, they reveal to us what is strange within the familiar and what is familiar within the strange. Kirk takes us on a mystifying adventure through the multiverse with his poet's eye always looking out the bus window and reporting back his fantastical observations, teasing out a multiplicity of meanings through clever wordplay and bracing satire. Part E. E. Cummings and part Doctor Who, these poems will transport you and transform you.
