They turn your life into a commodity. This book speaks back. SPEAKS FOR ITSELF is a poetry anthology of commodity musings - political, spiritual, and darkly intimate lines about power, control, surveillance, loyalty, and what it costs to stay human when the market prices everything. This is not polite verse for the coffee table. It is APOCALYPTIC EDITORIAL in book form: doomscroll as source material, read through the third eye, the cards, and the panopticon. Jeffrey Paul Bailey writes where politics meets the esoteric - gerontocracy and gut-level dread, domestic absurdity and existential heat, the private body under public systems. Inside these pages: - Political and social-commentary poetry that refuses unfounded hope - Esoteric and metaphysical turns - power, prophecy, and the watched self - Poems on control, loyalty, pleasure vs. mortality, and emotional complexity - A voice that braids dark humor with apocalyptic clarity If you read for spiritual poetry that still tells the truth about the regime, the oligarchy, and the hope-selling class - or for contemporary American poetry that names the surveillance arrangement we live in - this collection was written for you. They profit off yours and mine / So why can't eye. Jeffrey Paul Bailey is the author of WORD OF MOUTH and SOME GOOD WRIT, and the creator of APOCALYPTIC EDITORIAL.
