Loner Forensics: Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780810146235)

The third collection of poetry from Thea Brown, author of Think of the Danger

In Loner Forensics, Thea Brown dreams up and dissects a city beset by unexplained disappearances, roving silences, and climate collapse. This sprawling collection comprises a series of interviews with denizens of the shifting city, each mediated through the lonely lens of the Detective, a character whose refractive investigation atomizes the scene. As much a study of complicity as a critique of capitalism's distortive effects on human emotional response, Loner Forensics questions what happens when our innermost terrains become newly unfamiliar in an unraveling natural world.

Dark, fractured, and canny, Brown's shimmering third collection draws on parallel universes, 1980s video games, social media pop-speak, and ghost towns to immerse the reader in grief, utopia, disaster--and, ultimately, love.
