American Entropy, by Travis Hupp

If you’re seeking acknowledgment of the dark times we’re living in and hope for a brighter tomorrow, you’ll find both in American Entropy. This collection of poetry stands with the marginalized, finds glimpses of God amid ruins, and rages against the rise of authoritarianism in America. It presents anger as a necessity and politics as an oppressive, stupefying farce.

Through explorations of the metaphysical, religion, and relationships, the poems delve into both darkness and the light born of efforts to expand human consciousness. Despair is given unflinching witness, making the discovery of hope all the more profound. And love—raw, imperfect, and essential—is celebrated as a balm for our plugged-in yet detached modern lives.

If you’re disillusioned with an America sliding toward fascism and the strain it places on relationships, American Entropy may reignite your fire to keep fighting for what matters, keep loving, and hold faith in something greater than ourselves.
