DUTCH EARS is a book-length poem in the Modernist tradition, inspired and incited by many things, both literary and extra-literary. The narrator, Powell Douglas, is a quasi-misanthropic middle school teacher and adjunct professor experiencing the very beginning of the Covid pandemic.

But ultimately, this poem is about the struggle for individuality in a culture that celebrates herd behavior. A languid sigh in the face of contemporary America, Dutch Ears is a powerful and uncompromising epic.
