Description
Natalie Shapero's Popular Longing is a collection of poems that skewer the absurdities of modern life. With sharp wit and irony, she exposes human meekness in all its forms, from inflated egos to our deference to authority. Through her scrutiny of the mundane, these poems arrive at wider vistas, commenting on human sadness, memory, and mortality. Shapero's poetry is punchy, fearless, and wickedly funny, articulating what it means to share a planet with others - for better or worse. In Popular Longing, Natalie Shapero offers a searing critique of our contemporary world, one that is both humorous and profound.
