About the Book
The
Indignation
Parade
and Other Poems
Each spark that ignites outrage seems unique in the immediacy of the moment, and yet F. R. Foksal, in this poetry collection, shows us that even in the most topical issues can be found a grain of universality. As a non-native English poet, he explores current themes not only through the prism of a wider context, but also through the precision of language.

The Indignation
Parade
and Other Poems
Each spark that ignites outrage seems unique in the immediacy of the moment, and yet F. R. Foksal, in this poetry collection, shows us that even in the most topical issues can be found a grain of universality. As a non-native English poet, he explores current themes not only through the prism of a wider context, but also through the precision of language.
The poems in The Indignation Parade navigate the topics of one’s vulnerability in the face of the passing time, refusal to accept the brutal side of reality, disconnection from the over-sensationalized world, as well as isolation even in the closest of relationships.

WHAT’S INSIDE?
A Slice
of Surreality
a shortcut
you used to take,
located somewhere
between a fatigued
façade and a bench
bare; a cozy little square
where local drunks would
congregate to damn
the vicissitudes
of their tipsy
fate; a hole in the fence
through which you peeked
under the lining
of the world till then
impenetrable and
still; a hunchbacked tree
from under the cover
of whose leaves
it took you
all your childhood
to flee; a tank’s caterpillar
tread on your doorstep;
in life, the only one
that would never yield
a butterfly
