Starting from an urge to reconcile the human need for stability with what's happening in a constantly fluid "now," Dreampad, Jeff Latosik's startling new collection, ponders whether an ideal for living is viable when we're not sure we can say yes or no to anything in a world that's growing increasingly ephemeral and entangled with the virtual.
These poems, however, are a salvo — or "protest" in the most useful sense of that word — a reminder we might already own a verbal architecture to express the difficulty of being alive in a world that can, could and might still even be humane, loving and habitable. (From McClelland & Stewart)
