At the Mercy of the Flies (en Inglés) - Matt McBride

At the Mercy of the Flies renders the mundanity of daily life as a series of dislocations. In brief, lucid scenes, these poems map estrangement and excess onto surreal worlds where ambulances play Katy Perry, pearls rain from the sky, and every screen glows with impossible promises. What emerges is a record of survival written in the margins of collapse. Anchored in the author's experiences with depression and the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, At the Mercy of the Flies charts the cartographies of a life and a nation in freefall. No party lasts forever-not even America.
