Manoleria

By Daniel Khalastchi

Winner of the Tupelo Press / Crazyhorse First Book Prize

Under the influence of broadcasts such as public radio's "Marketplace" (a daily roundup of stock reports and business news), Daniel Khalastchi composed a series of character-driven poems whose recurrent narrator is physically and mentally manipulated while the world around him takes little notice. Through their chaos and horror, these poems ask a reader to question the ways in which our careening healthcare system, crumbling financial/housing/job markets, and war on multiple fronts are actually affecting us -- both inside and out.
