Mountebank by Tom Snarsky
Broken Sleep Books
Mountebank by Tom Snarsky is a sprawling, associative, and tenderly recursive work that explores consciousness, grief, memory, and devotion through a lens both philosophical and playful. Divided into multiple interleaved sections of poems, translations, and small flooded engines�, the collection assembles fragments, aphorisms, pastoral traces, and pop-cultural detritus into a lattice of lyric and meditative attention. Snarsky's formal restlessness never undermines the emotional through-line: a quiet insistence on care, uncertainty, and the dignity of unfinished thought. The result is a capacious, deeply human poetics that resists resolution while remaining acutely attuned to joy, sorrow, and the unrepeatable texture of daily life.
