- Summary:
- A roadtrip novel-in-verse, Mutiny Gallery follows a mother and son on an exuberant cross-country journey to outposts of Americana. Fleeing domestic peril, Claire embarks with her young son Max on a continental zigzag through psychic and actual states of dislocation, abandon, and absolution. With candor and verve, these poems intertwine terms of class, consumer culture, self-invention, race, rebellion, faith, freedom, and the erotics of the everyday. B. K. Fischer's luminous collection navigates a woman's quest to traverse the American landscape with her wits intact, a quest that catches her in nets of caregiving and crisis, love and loss.
