UnderdaysAuthor(s): Martin Ott\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Notre Dame Press, United States\nImprint: University of Notre Dame Press\nISBN-13: 9780268037390, 978-0268037390\nSynopsis\nWe encounter many voices in life: from friends and family, from media, from co-workers, from other artists. In a highly connected global world, where people and entities are electronically enmeshed, we filter these voices constantly to get to what we determine to be the truth.

Within many of the poems, a second voice, expressed in italic, hints at an opposing force \.
