From the Publisher

“Steven Karl’s I HRT the Cult Years critiques and embodies the cult leader at the center of the book who, in turn, critiques and embodies the American society that bred him. The overflowing and excessive ritual and repetition enacted throughout these poems build out a vision of what Svetlana Boym called “restorative nostalgia” – an alluring and fatal vision.”
