Lonely Christopher explores questions of identity, ethics, and power through the machinations of textuality in this bold new poetry collection that updates formalist and conceptual practices to provide a searing, comical, provocative, and ultimately humanist critique of how we use and abuse language to form and enforce culture. Christopher presents bizarre and perverse takes on political rhetoric, Freudian psychoanalysis, religious texts, sexuality, English grammar, opera, children's television, figurativism, epistles, modernist architecture, and more, purposing beguiling processes to take lusty stabs at entrenched forms of representation.
