Men in Suits

Author: Norman Fischer

Publisher: Blazevox (2023)

"There is so much to savor in these poems and texts that border on the riotous. In this book, Norman Fischer writes with the kind of bravery without which one writes in vain. The "men in suits" are scoundrels and this poet pulls no punches regarding their cruelty and stupidity. Here, the aesthetic life is examined. Race, class, time, politics, nationalism, and spirituality are not sidestepped. Utilizing a shifting array of techniques, forms, language registers, and styles, the poet weaves fury with the redemptive. Men In Suits is a necessary and powerful book."
