Submissions

By Jared Schickling

Poetry. "The poems in Jared Schickling's SUBMISSIONS explore the dislocations between self, community, and our desiccated political and ecological landscapes. The pressures of such disasters may be a point of departure for these poems, but they move toward a promise of habitation found in the shared spaces within both animal and human kingdoms.The entrances to these charged spaces are awkward, partial, and sometimes painful, but the scope and pull of these potential commons can curve our isolated selves into more adaptable shapes. In doing so, these poems bring the news that while our individual messages invariably split into lonely factions, we can still find common ground in a language that is 'on loan and full of intentions'"--Jonathan Minton.
