Spotlight: “Senator” by Lauren Haldeman

How much clarity do we have in our understanding of reality? What faults exist in our perception of the world? And what does a Senator really do for us? “Senator” is part of a series of poetry-comics based on work from Lauren Haldeman’s recent collection Instead of Dying, which won the 2017 Colorado Prize for Poetry.
