Additional text
“Hoarders reckons with the collective alienation that is part of our culture. [It] is a striking union of cultural critique with poetic meditation. The poems here offer an unflinching view of a culture centered around consumption and spectacle, while imploring us to move with kindness through the world.” —CD Eskilson, The Arkansas International
