Iron Lung

<p>Jim Goar's <em>Iron Lung</em> is a recursive disorienting interrogation of language ideology and the mechanisms of control that shape personal and collective narratives. Drawing from three interwoven sequences the collection loops through fractured syntax and dense philosophical inquiry destabilising the reader's footing at every turn. Goar's poetry operates like a malfunctioning system-collapsing reforming short-circuiting its own logic-rendering a landscape where history technology and the self dissolve into recursive feedback loops.<em> Iron Lung</em> is a text that resists easy consumption demanding instead to be deciphered dismantled and inhabited.</p>
