The prose poems in Identity Papers seek to construct a living bridge between the self and its shadow, between the self and other, and between present and past. They do so with a vulnerable faith, working with Heidegger's dictum that all things must be allowed their time in darkness. Along the way, their narrators meet a series of disturbing, irresistible strangers. Identity Papers follows on from Makers of Empty Dreams (Shearsman, 2014). It is the second volume in a trilogy of prose poem collections.
Ian Seed's poems, fiction, translations, articles and reviews have appeared in magazines such as The North, PN Review, Poetry Salzburg Review, Poetry Wales, Shearsman, Stride, and Tears in the Fence. He teaches at the University of Chester. From 2006 to 2015, he edited the online poetry journal Shadowtrain. New York Hotel is his fifth collection from Shearsman Books.
