In Tiny, Frantic, Stronger, Jeff Latosik takes up the questionof durability and longevity in an age of ephemeralmores and instant gratification. In gritty urban poems,ancient and elemental forces collide with the sophisticatedinfrastructures of modern life, a system thatbrings with it not only incredible strength but alsoprofound vulnerability. These poems probe the pressurepoints where notions of physical, psychological,and technological strength continually threaten toerupt into their opposites, and they ask the question:what aspects of our daily lives will actually last beyondthe here and now, beyond their own inherent limitationsof time and place?
