Description
Each spark that ignites outrage seems unique in the immediacy of the moment, and yet F. R. Foksal, in his 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.

About the Author
Reviews
"A volume of poems focuses on the state of the world. Violence, war, time, and mortality are recurring themes in this collection by Foksal, a Polish author and the founder of the literary magazine The Nonconformist.... A poignant, impressive, and pessimistic collection of poetry."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Especially in its earliest pages, before the focus turns more personal, this volume's poems live up to its title as Foksal contrasts, with penetrating indignation, everyday neighborhood scenes with the inevitability of violence ... Foksal proves adept at striking verse of clarity and communicative power ... Pained, potent verse examining life and loneliness in an era of violence."
-BookLife Reviews [Editor's Pick]
"F.R. Foksal's extraordinary poetry collection, The Indignation Parade, explores timeless themes in precise and musical language.... The poems in The Indignation Parade are lyrical and rich, addressing the complexity of human emotions on both personal and political scales."
-Foreword Clarion Reviews
"The Indignation Parade and Other Poems by F.R. Foksal is a beautifully done poetry collection. Foksal explores many themes throughout his work, including isolation, disconnection, and how one feels through the passage of time.... Any reader who enjoys poetry or more profound reads would enjoy and really get something out of Foksal's poetry."
