In The Corpse Pose, his sophomore collection, poet Erik Campbell leads and follows us through the fast-paced, grainy static of global postmodernity, in which Zeus is overthrown by Google, and the only reliable deus ex machina to a suburban child’s call for help is the arrival of the Kool-Aid Man. Campbell’s The Corpse Pose understands the hard certainties of flux and decay—holding them at bay with a rueful, yet tender, nostalgia for the artful and elegant whimsies of anachronism.
