Strung Like Puppets

Strung Like Puppets is the sophomore collection of poetry by Brian R. Strauss, an enthralling set of poems focused on the menial and mundane of post-addiction life, external decay, and domesticated, nine-to-five "bliss." It is an examination of societal expectations and external stimuli culminating in a re-awoken self found in the faceless authorial voice of these poems.

Foxx Press is proud to present a work that pushes standards of writing that in many ways align the mean-spirited underbelly of life's inane process and the undercurrent of spirited optimism found in the perseverence amid depression, addiction, and capitulation.
