In Self Portrait of Icarus as a Country on Fire, poet Jason Schneiderman pairs the personal with the political. He grapples with the rise of antisemitism and extremism in the U.S., while also contending with the dissolution of his marriage and his new life as a recently single gay man. U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón says, “Schneiderman is one of our nation’s best poets … Dangerously free, these poems are finely wrought and unfettered powerhouses.”
