<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>In </strong><strong><em>Intruder</em></strong><strong>, acclaimed poet Bardia Sinaee explores with vivid and precise language themes of encroachment in contemporary life.</strong></p><p>Bemused and droll, paranoid and demagogic, Sinaee's much-anticipated debut collection presents a world beset by precarity, illness, and human sprawl. Anxiety, hospitalization, and body paranoia recur in the poems' imagery -- Sinaee went through two-and-a-half years of chemotherapy in his mid-twenties, documented in the vertiginous multipart prose poem "Twelve Storeys" -- making <em>Intruder</em> a book that seems especially timely, notably in the dreamlike, minimalist sequence "Half-Life," written during the lockdown in Toronto in spring 2020.</p><p>Progressing from plain-spoken dispatches about city life to lucid nightmares of the calamities of history, the poems in <em>Intruder</em> ultimately grapple with, and even embrace, the daily undertaking of living through whatever the hell it is we're living through.</p>
