Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of poems and notes from L. M. Mann he carefully examines the psyche of an increasingly disconnected nation and the governing societal memes that appear to manipulate us. In a series of revealing and disturbingly haunting verses, Mann begins by dissecting himself and his own personal disconnect from mainstream society. Mann's raw discourse soon evolves into a bizarre career path involving beggars, thieves, assassins, collecting rent from crack houses, and his attempts to hold it all together before eventually escaping into a new life involving the mystifying mechanics of quantum theory.L. M. Mann writes to his own rhythm creating a unique style of prose that is insightful and deeply personal. His prose cuts deep, employing an economy of words that leaves the reader craving more. Despite many graphically violent verses and a deepening sense of dread, The Evolution of Disconnect ultimately seeks to connect the disconnected to one another. Mann has either tasked himself with a seemingly impossible goal or he is simply writing for therapy to exorcise the demons from his soul.
