Jessica Baran’s new collection of 18 prose sonnets explores issues of identity and consumerism in a culture inundated with visual and verbal stimulation. Built around news headlines, soundbites, and advertisements, these densely poetic pieces offer a response to American culture that expresses a struggle both intimately personal and universally applicable.
