Description
Combining the daring of Beat Generation luster, a terse lens of Realism, and a mocking romp though Classical form with the experimentation of Postmodernism, Joe King's Human Ants restores poetry to a world that had forgotten it. Bursting with dark humor, hyperawareness, and the universal enigma of consciousness, Human Ants is broken down into four thematic segments that incite a bitter conflict between insignificance and an ever-expanding world. Whether King takes on variants of a Sonnet, Sestina, Villanelle, Free Form, or Stream-of-Consciousness, his sharp wit and charismatic personas ooze from every page. As Poet Jessie Janeshek writes in the forward to Human Ants, "His work reasserts the belief that all writers try to keep believing; what we write on the page can become an agent of change."
