Description
If you’re seeking acknowledgment of the dark times we’re living in and hope for a brighter tomorrow, you’ll find both in American Entropy. This collection of poetry stands with the marginalized, finds glimpses of God amid ruins, and rages against the rise of authoritarianism in America. It presents anger as a necessity and politics as an oppressive, stupefying farce.
Through explorations of the metaphysical, religion, and relationships, the poems delve into both darkness and the light born of efforts to expand human consciousness. Despair is given unflinching witness, making the discovery of hope all the more profound. And love—raw, imperfect, and essential—is celebrated as a balm for our plugged-in yet detached modern lives.
If you’re disillusioned with an America sliding toward fascism and the strain it places on relationships, American Entropy may reignite your fire to keep fighting for what matters, keep loving, and hold faith in something greater than ourselves.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Travis Hupp’s style is lyrical and conversational, blending vivid imagery with sharp commentary. His ability to juxtapose the spiritual with the tangible is particularly striking, as seen in poems like "The Spirit Moves" and "Veils," where he explores the intersection of faith, metaphysics, and the mysteries of existence. The author’s openness about his own struggles, including his experiences with intrusive thoughts and auditory hallucinations, adds vulnerability. Despite the heavy themes, American Entropy is not without optimism. The section on Hope is a beacon of light, showing Hupp’s belief in the power of love, unity, and redemption. Poems like "Celebrate You" and "Resurrect" remind readers of the importance of connection and the possibility of renewal, even in the face of adversity. American Entropy is a compelling read for those who appreciate poetry that challenges and inspires. Hupp’s work is a reminder of the beauty and chaos inherent in life." - Readers' Favorite
"Hupp’s collection American Entropy is a journey of emotions: intense, powerful and beautiful, while also impressive and inspiring at the same time." - Feathered Quill
