Under Glass

Gregory Kan

A journey through fragmented landscapes of mind and world.

Under Glass, Gregory Kan's second collection, is a dialogue between prose and verse, following a protagonist through a mysterious landscape. Driven by a hunger to make sense of things, the speaker explores inner and outer worlds, questioning the value of storytelling itself. This collection is full of maps and trapdoors, labyrinths and fragmented traces.

For readers of contemporary poetry, Under Glass opens up new ways of telling stories. Beautifully crystalline and emotionally powerful, this collection takes readers on a journey that is frightening yet tender, imperfect but triumphant. Explore themes of identity, memory, and the search for meaning in this experimental poetry collection.
