Beschreibung
<b>Finalist for the 2019 Griffin Poetry Prize</b> <b>From the author of </b><i>The Performance of Becoming Human</i><b>, winner of the National Book Award for poetry</b> <i>Lake Michigan</i>, a series of 19 lyric poems, imagines a prison camp located on the beaches of a Chicago that is privatized, racially segregated, and overrun by a brutal police force. Thinking about the ways in which economic policy, racism, and militarized policing combine to shape the city, <i>Lake Michigan</i>'s poems continue exploring the themes from Borzutzky's <i>Performance of Becoming Human</i>, winner of the National Book Award for Poetry. But while the influences in this book (Césaire, Vallejo, Neruda) are international, the focus here is local as the book takes a hard look at neoliberal urbanism in the historic city of Chicago.
