In Imperial, George Bilgere's sixth collection of poetry, he continues his exploration of the beauties, mysteries and absurdities of being middle-aged and middle-class in mid-America. In poems that range from the Cold War anxieties of the 1950s to the perils and predicaments of an aging Boomer in a post-9/11 world, Bilgere's rueful humour and slippery syntax become a trapdoor that at any moment can plunge the reader into the abyss.
