The Marketplace of Ideas by Stefan Mohamed
The Marketplace of Ideas expresses the surreal vertigo of being an ageing millennial, marinading in the chaotic swamp of the internet while the world rapidly collapses around you – an experience that is equal parts numbing, infuriating and weirdly hilarious. A world where high art, pop culture, surreal memes and mind-bending atrocities flatten into a single, never-ending stream of information. These poems do not necessarily critique, or even explain, the overloaded, apocalyptic millennial mindset, but they are undoubtedly born of it. And somewhere in their confused, spiky, numbingly online depths, there may even be a dim spark of hope.
Stefan Mohamed is a performing poet, author and freelance editor based in Bristol.
