Jim Goar's Iron Lung is a recursive, disorienting interrogation of language, ideology, and the mechanisms of control that shape personal and collective narratives. Drawing from three interwoven sequences, the collection loops through fractured syntax and dense philosophical inquiry, destabilising the reader's footing at every turn. Goar's poetry operates like a malfunctioning system-collapsing, reforming, short-circuiting its own logic-rendering a landscape where history, technology, and the self dissolve into recursive feedback loops. Iron Lung is a text that resists easy consumption, demanding instead to be deciphered, dismantled, and inhabited.
