Locust and Other Poems

  • Description

Product Description

Metaphors are ways of understanding the unfamiliar in terms of the familiar. And in a world that seems to be increasingly unfamiliar, disturbing, and perplexing.

Joel O’Connor offers us a provocative and powerful means of making sense out of the political chaos that has emerged as nations slide or leap into what appears to be a totalitarian and fascist future.
