Madness pays homage to all poets whose work goes underappreciated.
The New York Times has hailed Madness as a finalist for the 2023 Publishing Triangle Award for Trans and Gender-Variant Literature, a prestigious recognition in the world of literary excellence. Additionally, it has been named a finalist for the 2023 Four Quartets Prize from the Poetry Society of America, a testament to the poem's profound impact and artistic merit.
Set in a speculative present, Madness alternates between poetry and editorial commentary to explore the profound power of language and its ability to span a lifetime. Through the lens of a fictional poet named Luis Montes-Torres, a gay Cuban exile who makes a modest name for himself in the world of poetry before the contours of his ordinary life become overwhelming, stilted, and impossible, Madness delves into the unpredictable wavering between anxiety and attachment, between the political and the personal, that accompanies any American life marked by difference.
Madness is a study in how pleasure, crisis, wonder, disappointment, love, and fantasy are written into the very fabric of our forms for living. It is a testament to the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, reminding us of the beauty and complexity that can be found even in the most challenging circumstances.
In conclusion, Madness is a remarkable work of poetry that deserves to be celebrated and appreciated by a wide audience. Its exploration of language, identity, and the human experience is both thought-provoking and deeply moving, and it serves as a testament to the power of poetry to transcend boundaries and connect us to one another.
