In MINE, M. Mack succeeds in creating a kind of alien universe existing inside the T.V., inside products, a nonsense universe revealing truisms of our existence and dependence on the inanimate, somehow becoming realer than the real. All language in these poems is borrowed from a major cable shopping channel, but is given new life & new attention, reimagined with care and tenderness even in the plastic void. This is a world with vibrancy & music, thanks to Mack's reimagining—this is a world that beckons you in: "it is a pleasure / to have you / shopping with us."
