Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. A new book of poems and prose poems by the author of HOMELESS AT HOME, DISTANCE NO OBJECT and HOW I LEARNED. This poet's brilliant solution in SOLUTION SIMULACRA is to invent a parallel and much more exciting ethos to the prevailing ill winds of a culture gone awry with war and little tolerance for dissent. Poetry, prose poems, polemic exist in a polyvalent, quotidian, urgent universe. Gloria Frym is the patriot I'll vote for, every time--Anne Waldman. Like in the aftermath of a 'mesmerizing theater of operations, ' Gloria Frym's solutions tread the water of a flood inundating what we once considered our life. Angry, playful, and unforgiving, these words we thought belonged to us now see only `orphans as far as the future can go.'--Ammiel Alcalay
