Description
William Olsen's TechnoRage is a meditative ode to nature. Its intensely lyrical poems remind us of our humanity, spinning free-verse poetic conversations that question the ways of the world. In the age of the wide but often shallow lens of our new technology, Olsen takes a nod from Robert Frost and Gary Synder, laying bare our need to return to the roots of things, where these poems find their voice. Olsen revels in language that is an intensely authentic rumination on our human isolation.
Reviews / Votes
The poems in William Olsen's TechnoRage are both intensely meditative and linguistically playful. They take the natural world as their subject, but when their speakers look at nature they are reminded of human artifice, particularly language."" - George David ClarkMore details
