A new poetry collection from award-winning author Michael Chang
 A vital breath of life arrives in American poetry with
Synthetic Jungle, the latest collection from acclaimed poet Michael
Chang. With poems in a register both hilarious and scathing,
Synthetic Jungle effortlessly bashes convention while
simultaneously rebuilding the language we use to communicate our
fears and joys. Â Synthetic Jungle is a collection written by
a brilliant jester who winks at you as you catch their every
reference before sharing a laugh at your own self-satisfaction.
Themes of identity, sexuality, and literacy play out in a dizzying
rhythm of microtheaters. Readers will find themselves giggling,
snorting, and guffawing their way through this work: whether at a
repudiation of the literary landscape or a critique of a failing
justice system, to laugh along with Chang is to recognize your
mistakes and, ultimately, grow from them. Â Fractal and
kinetic in the quick-witted spirit of John Ashbery and Emily
Dickinson, Chang’s tender poems dance around, between, and
through the personal and philosophical. Synthetic Jungle is as
sweet as it is grand, and beneath its sarcastic grin reverberates
an immense, open heart.
