We Are Nothing and So Can You

This collection of poetry by Jasper Bernes engages themes of work, alienation, and modern social life through inventive language and formal experimentation.

Bernes's poems often intertwine personal reflection with broader political and cultural observations, drawing on his interests in Marxism and aesthetics.

The volume situates intimate voice within collective histories and material conditions, exploring the tensions of creative life under capitalism.

Stylistically varied, the poems aim to provoke thought about subjectivity, community, and resistance.

The work contributes to Bernes's broader project linking literary art with political inquiry.
