Unit of Agency, Second Edition
An updated version of 2021’s full length poetry collection Unit of Agency. The Second Edition includes five additional poems along with some minor revision designed to increase the range and impact of the text as a whole.
Unit of Agency is a full-length collection of poems by Richard Loranger, one of his generation’s premiere cutting edge performance poets, an artist who writes for both the stage and the page with equal ambition. In this collection, Loranger brings his considerable experience as an activist, organizer, and provocateur to bear on the effects of Late Capitalism on communities and culture; the divisiveness of the American political circus; the dis-ease of finding our attention occupied by nationalism, racism, and hatred; and the value of shifting perspectives as an approach to optimism and action.
