POEMS AT THE HEART OF CONTEMPORARY CONCERNS: Bardia’s poetry touches on urban life, health and sickness, xenophobia, and migration. These are poems that speak to the modern world in all its difficulties and complexities, appealing to readers of Danez Smith and Rae Armantrout.
TIMELY WRITING ON COVID-19: Intruder will be one of the first published poetry collections to respond to the COVID-19 epidemic, both its personal and global impacts. Bardia’s keen poetic observations into the human side of the effects of the coronavirus will provide a new and much-needed way of understanding an event with which we all still struggle to grapple.
AUTHOR CONNECTED IN THE CANLIT SCENE: Apart from his many appearances in magazines and reading series, Sinaee was a contributing editor at the Literary Review of Canada and a columnist for Open Book, outlets that will be important in promoting his debut collection.
