The truth is out there... and it's in this collection. Amaris Feland Ketcham uses the technique of found poetry-limiting her word bank to the transcripts of episodes of The X-Files-to craft entirely new and vivid poems. Indebted to the show's writers for using such interesting and precise words, this collection retains a sense of mystery and inquiry, mirroring and adapting big ideas and issues, and a smattering of references and slang that make them read like a kind of 1990s Homeric.
