Description

"Angle of Yaw, Ben Lerner's ambitious second book of poetry, is an extended meditation on the commercialization of public space and speech. Combining philosophical insight with poetic experiment, political outrage with personal experience, Lerner's prose poems and lyrical sequences examine how technologies of viewing - aerial photography in particular - feed our spectacular culture an image of itself."--Jacket.
