Transmissions from My Yearning Chair, by Pierre Minar

Poetry, chapbook, 32 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Pierre Minar’s new collection of poems is about weather, God’s presence, clavicles, and how an organized fridge might save your marriage. Can a divine presence reveal itself in a captcha prompt? Did you bring an offering of peanuts to the cemetery angel? These poems explore loneliness, memory, identity, regret, and desire in our weird world. We don’t build Hagia Sophias, we build Alamodomes and then abandon them. But don’t despair, there’s beauty and divinity everywhere, even in the satisfying click of a Costco Pyrex lid. Pierre Minar is a poet and bureaucrat who writes and makes short films about funnels and gummy bears. He was born in Beirut and lives in Dallas. When not writing, Pierre spends time helping raise a small child, watering plants (non-succulent), and investigating allegations of Medicare fraud by hospitals and biotech companies.
