Psychosis in the Produce Department

Psychosis in the Produce Department: New and Selected Poems, 1975-2015 gathers the best work from Laurel Ann Bogen's previous ten books as well as new and unpublished poetry. Ranging in themes as diverse as horrific beauty and exquisite madness, dysfunctional families, love and anti-love, life in Los Angeles and Hollywood, and growing up as a Baby Boomer, these poems offer sly, humorous, surreal—and most crucially, accessible—genre-busting work that can only be called Vintage Bogen. Readers are also given the unique opportunity to experience the full power of Bogen's critically acclaimed poetry performance through ten included QR codes that link to audio files of select poems in the collection.
