What does it mean to read? How do we deal with trauma? How does one thing turn into something else? These are but a few questions In on the Great Joke investigates. Blending essay, prose, poetic, and film forms in innovative ways, Broadbent challenges what is generally considered a book of poetry.
Praise for Laura Broadbent's previous work:
"Oh There You Are... succeeds because it is accessible. Intellectually rigorous and evasive, it also makes itself emotionally available."
-- Justin F. Ridgeway, Broken Pencil
"Then there's Laura Broadbent. She is, as are her poems, full of sultry verve and invective. Watch out. Her lines are dizzying and always on point."
-- Michael Nardone, Hobo Magazine
