 Day Zero Breakdown 
 (Bogue Street Records, 2026) is the title of 
 an audio accompaniment to dementia lyrics, Dennis 
 Hinrichsen's twelfth full length collection 
 of poetry and his fifth title overall from 
 Green Linden Press. The poems are an exploration 
 of systemic failure on multiple levels 
 beginning with the diagnosis of two friends with 
 very different forms of dementia, but then 
 branching out to include the failure of late-stage 
 capitalism to address the needs of the 
 homeless in Hinrichsen's hometown of Lansing, 
 Michigan, as well as issues related to freshwater 
 mismanagement and the death of aquifers 
 on a broader scale. The running motif is water, 
 the body as water, brain as water, body 
 and brain as aquifer, all under extreme forms 
 of stress. \n\n
