Mitmensch

“In this chapbook, Corey Mesler invokes the specter of a man known only as Mitmensch. Poem by poem, a variety of speakers construct a shadowy portrait of this man. Frustrated artist. Ruthless businessman. Demi-god. Mitmensch’s ‘shifting geography’ leaves all who come into contact with him guessing. Mesler’s wit and evocative language enhance this mystery, making Mitmensch rise from the pages ‘slowly, like a uniform unfolding’ to reveal himself to those brave enough to seek him.”
