The Mechanics of Submission is poet Phil Tabakow's visionary guidebook to middle class North American life. Sometimes dark as their rust-belt settings, these are poems with a scouring, ruthless humour, courtesy of a muse with attitude that won't be trained. Examine these as small exploding diagrams, graphing the boundaries between the self and the world, behind which lie our deepest fears and desires.
