Unit of Agency

Unit of Agency is a full-length collection of poems by Richard Loranger, one of his generation's premiere cutting edge performance poets, an artist who writes for both the stage and the page with equal ambition. In this collection, Loranger brings his considerable experience as an activist, organizer, and provocateur to bear on the effects of Late Capitalism on communities and culture; the divisiveness of the American political circus; the dis-ease of finding our attention occupied by nationalism, racism, and hatred; and the value of shifting perspectives as an approach to optimism and action.
