Fauxccasional Poems

Bag om Fauxccasional Poems

From the reign of the first philosopher king once envisioned by Plato to the lasting peace to come under the rule of the Democratic Kampuchea Global Party, Daniel Scott Tysdal imagines himself into poetic voices not his own, writing to commemmorate events that never occurred, for the posterity of alternative universes. Fauxcassional Poems urges us to ponder the contingency of history and how each moment brings us to a thousand turning points. Despite our certainties, nothing is ever as it seems, and the future unfolds against our best designs. History is an unreliable vessel for the upwelling of our deepest hopes and fears, and in Tysdal's hands poetry shakes history by the lapels and shouts, "Wake up! Your time is now!"
