In Auction, her first poetry collection in eight years, the poet, novelist, and playwright Quan Barry travels the globe in her signature quest into the existential nature of experience. These poems explore the inner landscapes of both the human and animal realms, revealing them to be points along the same spectrum. At the heart of the book lies an extended study of toxic storytelling as an element of warcraft, but Barry also contemplates the death of a Buddhist master, the plight of migrants both at home and abroad, the ethics of travel and consumption, and the larger question of how and why we construct a self in order to navigate the world.

Industry Reviews

Auction will leave readers feeling intrigued and challenged, but willing to see the beauty in life's ugliness.-- "Tone Madison"
The existential pulse is strong in the pages of Loose Strife because of the unrelenting evidence that human life (particularly female life) is collateral damage to humanity's political machinations and cultural dogmata. Values that are designed for instruction are (mis)used for destruction.--Rigoberto Gonz?lez, Los Angeles Review of Books on Loose Strife
