Produktbeschreibung
Super Leftist paints a portrait of the disillusioned American middle-class struggling with acute anxieties around social mobility. With his clinical report style that withholds moral commentary, Pierre Gervois presents portraits of anxious civil servants, tales of immigrants, and unsettling stories of everyday Americans dreaming of upward and elsewhere while tied to mundane activities. His poems expose both overt and subtle forms of dominance, dissecting relations of power and hierarchy in contemporary American society. Saturated with class consciousness, Gervois's poems eerily resonate with readers and force confrontations with the brutal disconnect between the promised American Dream and the reality of daily life. Each poem is embedded in Gervois's iconic rectangular structures with a small notch on the lower right side. Challenging traditional boundaries between literature and conceptual art, Gervois uses language as both aesthetic medium and analytical tool.
