American Lit

In his debut chapbook, Jacob Minasian tracks the often blatant inconsistencies he observes around him. Moving from California to Ohio just weeks before the 2016 presidential election, he records the startling social, political, and ecological transition from one environment to the next. Together, these poems construct the narrative of a journey, of a poet attempting to come to terms with the altered world around him, and to process the colossal shifts in the American collective.
