In her captivating book "Hoarders," Kate Durbin explores the intricate connections between hoarding and collective American traumas, deeply rooted in consumerism and environmental concerns. Through a series of poignant and introspective poems, Durbin skillfully depicts the unique portraits of individuals and the cherished objects they hoard, ranging from beloved Barbie dolls to delicate snow globes, vintage Las Vegas memorabilia, rotting fruit, and even plants. By employing reality television as a medium, Durbin creates a surreal and tender space that reflects our cultural moment back to the reader, offering a unique perspective on the complexities of the human condition. Drawing inspiration from the absurdist traditions of Kafka and Beckett, "Hoarders" ultimately embraces the challenges and complexities of human existence with empathy and understanding. This thought-provoking and deeply moving work is a must-read for anyone interested in delving into the human psyche and the profound impact of our consumerist culture.
