poems for my FBI agent / Charlotte Geater

‘The poems in Charlotte Geater’s new book investigate the comical and terrifying consequences of constantly having to imagine the terms of our lived reality.

They follow a vertiginous logic to reassert the dark, personal utterance as a possible escape from places where we are always seen.’ Sam Riviere

Charlotte Geater’s poems for my FBI agent takes us down a Lynchian rabbit hole, a sad and shadowy agent following the poet’s every move. This book’s true surrealism lies in the fidelity with which it depicts how we now live—in a world where we are each the warm applause at the end of our own nightly show, and the rabid dogs ever-ready to devour one of our own.
