Addressing gun violence, poverty, fascism, surveillance, white privilege, the protest movement, censorship, American history, torture, and net neutrality, Schoonebeek's writing is marked by a unique use of slang and jargon, manipulation of white space, and precise rhythm on the page. His poems have been praised by many critics for their momentum, obsession with weird language, and the precision of their enjambments and end-stopped lines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough \u003ci\u003eAmerican Barricade\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Tr buchet\u003c\/i\u003e speak to one another and map an evolving poetics, Schoonebeek's second collection is a departure from the aesthetics and obsessions that defined his first, which was invested in the politics of family dynamics and the insistence in this country on obtaining power and wealth.
