Description

Tony Hoagland's Application for Release from the Dream is a collection of poems that probes the human condition with unflinching honesty and humour. With fierce abandon, Hoagland surveys the complexities of modern life, seeking to understand how we can stay whole in a world that often seems fragmented. Through his characteristic blend of wit, self-scathing irony, and moral intelligence, Hoagland's poems offer a nuanced exploration of responsibility, freedom, memory, and forgetfulness. Mirthful and precise, these poems are full of judgment and mercy, poking and provoking as they entertain and engage. A master of the contemporary poetry form, Tony Hoagland is known for his disarming humour and aggressive moral intelligence, which drives him to push the poem to its limits and beyond.
