Dear Leader examines the seductive loops of paranoia and longing, disordered thinking, and the pursuit of power. Ranging in form from the villanelle to experiments with the open field, this collection illuminates the blackest corners of a dream world in which women compete for the attentions of their gods and witches eat their lovers to survive, where even a trip to the post office carries the risk of descent.Damian Rogers is the poetry editor of House of Anansi Press and the creative director of Poetry in Voice.
