Deeper the Tropics - Paperback

by Matt Broaddus (Author)

Deeper the Tropics navigates the mythology of the self via the masked figure. These poems present the self as an accumulation of faces--or masks--over which we have only partial control. Yet it's in this semi-public, semi-private space of self where the poems celebrate the imaginative leaps we take to find ourselves in ever-changing configurations. Operating between local and global, fantasy and history, this collection explores the self in a liminal space where simultaneities propagate.
