Arizona Tribune - A Curtain Call for Reason: 'The Age of Something Other Than Reason' Stages the Absurdity of Modern American Culture

Its three primary acts move fast and hit hard, documenting technological, political, religious, and psychological systems that reward loyalty over reflection. Throughout the book, journal entries from a once-human artificial intelligence reflect on America's collapse into factional thinking, documenting the moment when farce and delusion overtook sanity and logic.

"I'm not preaching, I'm documenting," Andricks says. "I took a timed snapshot of modern American culture using my own creative filter, but as an American, I am also one of the subjects standing within that frame of observation."

Midway through, Andricks interrupts the chaos with a formal Intermission - a conscious pause for poems about travel, nature, independence, and human connection, reminding readers what exists beyond the noise and what risks being lost to it.

Pop poetry that meets the times, The Age of Something Other Than Reason is heralding without being prescriptive and accessible without sacrificing depth. This book is the follow-up to Andricks' 2024 chart-topping poetry collection Repurposed (Trial by Lineation). Like Repurposed, this book also features artwork by Cory Andricks, the author's brother.
