Coles A walk on April 21, 2025: Mr. Koguto’s visit to the USA, #1 at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Mr. Koguto's visit to the USA is a searing and lyrical portrait of our times, told through the observant eyes of a modern-day philosopher. Inspired by real headlines and rooted in the poetic tradition of Zbigniew Herbert's iconic Mr. Cogito, this collection reflects on American life in a year of paradox—where celebration masks crisis, and silence shouts more than speech.
In poignant, often haunting verse, Mr. Koguto walks through grocery aisles marked by tariffs, college campuses marred by violence, and Easter mornings shadowed by war. He bears witness to moments both intimate and historic: from courtroom reckonings and border detainments to the glimmer of hope in a desert song or the gentle presence of a therapy dog. Each poem is a lens, each page a question: What does it mean to live truthfully in a world of curated narratives and systemic noise?
At approximately 100 pages, Mr. Koguto's visit to the USA is a timely, necessary meditation on identity, justice, and the fragile dignity of the everyday. For readers of political poetry, social commentary, or anyone grappling with the complexity of modern existence, Mr. Koguto offers clarity, empathy, and a quiet moral compass.
