Publisher's Synopsis
What do you do after punching the time clock for seven years only to realize it was all in vain and without any lasting legacy? Amongst the mundane simplicity of routine and the nine to five grind comes "Complacent," the sixth collection of poetry from queer artist Logan Benedict. When the dullness of normalcy and the dust bunnies of a retail career come to a head, will the jump seem too far to make? Will you be able to escape the piss factory you called home?
"Complacent" is a classic tale of disillusionment and aging, overthinking and scraping the gutter for glitter. It's losing your footing in a dark hallway, coffee stains on your crochet bag, trauma without therapy. It's like an existential headache, the sordid taste of past toxic relationships, ugly porn and a car wreck you can't believe you survived. "I don't want to be handsome, I want to play God."
