Late in the Empire of Men, Kempf's powerful debut collection, reads the author's coming-of-age in Ohio and California against the westward trajectory of American history, a trajectory he simultaneously situates in the larger context of empire--both political and anthropocentric--by looking back to Rome and Carthage and by glancing forward to a time when, as he writes in the poem "Dominion," "the idea of people/is over." Employing a baroque layering of image and allusion, patterned sonic texturing, and post-narrative self-consciousness, Kempf reveals how commonplace rhetorical practices--football's valorization of a "warrior ethos," for example--work to conscript young American men, in particular, into patterns of thought and behavior constitutive of an imperialist state.
