Mature Themes

ANDREW DURBIN is the author of several chapbooks, including Reveler and Believers. His work has appeared in the BOMB, The Boston Review, Fence, Mousse, Triple Canopy, and elsewhere. He co-edits Wonder and lives in New York.

“Mature Themes negatively embraces media culture in its dizzying vortex of self-reflexivity, where facts exist only as powered by dreams, and dreams are in fact, malignant intent.  It's like that, like a cat chasing its tail.  Durbin's incisive and often brilliant book offers pitch-perfect feedback of a culture where to go deep is to resend an unanswered text at 3 a.m.”—Chris Kraus
