| Summary: | There Must Be A Reason People Come Here is the second full-length collection of poems by Denver-based poet and musician Brian Foley. In this new book Foley explores the intersection of consciousness and the modern condition by broadcasting the indirect effects of a life lived under the oppressive structures of late capitalism. Working through the contradictions of what it means to exist in the precarity of our growing industrial and psychological ruin Foley writes, 'Hope is a chemical, not a dream ignited in the eye / that can be heard sober.' It is a collection of poems that refuses to conform to the norms of what poetry is and how it must say things. |
