Award-winning poet Mark Nowak returns with a harrowing documentation of the expansive landscape of MAGAmerica.
Told through five abecedarian prose sections, . . . AGAIN is a photo-text commentary on MAGAism in America. In his sobering voice, Nowak captures the depredations of capitalism, the desensitizing regularity of mass shootings, and the extremism that has fueled white nationalism. From the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and the January 6 insurrection through Donald Trump’s re-election, Nowak chronicles the transformations as the seasons change around him, attempting to make sense of a bitterly divided nation that elected a polarizing figurehead . . . again.
Praise for Mark Nowak
“Nowak’s willingness to submerge his own voice beneath these other accounts, privileging other voices—those of survivors, widows, journalists—above his own. He is a legislator whose job is allowing others to be heard.” —The New York Times Sunday Book Review
“Nowak develops a conception of poetry as a living archive and polyvocal expression of worker experiences within and beyond the workplace.” —Margaret Ronda, Los Angeles Review of Books
“The aim of making poetry to make change, to make history, is what makes Nowak’s work most radical and most daring.” —The Kenyon Review
“Mark Nowak is restoring the perspective of working class Americans to contemporary American poetry.” —Buffalo News
“[Nowak] offers visionary steps for a way forward.” —William Harris, Jacobin
