This Insistent List is that rarest of things in poetry: a sequel. Taking up where his first collection, Recovery Community, left off, physician-poet Conor Mc Donnell races into an all-too plausible Burroughs-Ballardian future where science has fought and lost the great battle over data, facts, language, and truth. In this future, physicians wander the land offering services in return for food, and Morlocks stalk kings from deep beneath their feet. Through shifting perspectives and innovative use of form, This Insistent List is a collection of unique voice & character through the cracked lens that has become a trademark of Conor Mc Donnell's work.
