Drawing from three interwoven sequences, the collection loops through fractured syntax and dense philosophical inquiry, destabilising the reader's footing at every turn. Goar's poetry operates like a malfunctioning system-collapsing, reforming, short-circuiting its own logic-rendering a landscape where history, technology, and the self dissolve into recursive feedback loops.\u003cem\u003e Iron Lung\u003c\/em\u003e is a text that resists easy consumption, demanding instead to be deciphered, dismantled, and inhabited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoar, Jim:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jim Goar is the author of The Dustbowl (Shearsman), The Louisiana Purchase (Rose Metal Press), and Seoul Bus Poems (Reality Street).
