Description
High Noon Neptune is a powerful poetry collection that delves into important issues of loss, love, class, and capitalism. Throughout this book, the reader is taken on a journey of survival, where the intersections of identity and oppression are explored with clarity and reverence. The poems shed light on the complexities of living in a society that is rife with discrimination and inequality, and the battles that individuals face to survive within these intersecting systems. This book fearlessly navigates through societal and personal struggles with a sharp wit and bold defiance. With each poem, David Groulx confronts and challenges the societal norms and structures that perpetuate injustice and inequality. High Noon Neptune offers a raw and unapologetic perspective on the realities of navigating life as a marginalized individual. This poetry collection is a powerful testament to the resilience and strength of those who refuse to be silenced and continue to fight for survival.
