I really enjoyed this poetry collection. I feel I’ll need to read it several more times to fully understand each poem. Overall, I recommend.

A brilliant work, one that coheres thematically as a collection. The language is subtle, sharp, and playful with rhyme. I love the journey through apocalypses that have happened, ongoing apocalypses, and apocalypses to come. As we learn from the notes at the end, most of these poems are in conversation with lines from other poems—a twist that enriches here. I’ll be reading whatever I can find from Franny Choi.
