When a national draft is reinstated, the lines between dream and reality begin to blur as four friends are forced to decide whether to enlist or resist. Meanwhile, a company of ballerinas prepares for their upcoming season, a ghostpoet is haunted by his own verse, and baseball is cancelled as sinkholes sprawl across the homeland. Gently surreal and hauntingly familiar, DRAFT DODGING: POEMS FOR THE CONSCRIPTED conjures a not-so-distant future that investigates the space between the dystopias in our dreams and the dystopia outside our door.
