The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes on by Franny Choi

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

Reading poetry is not my favorite, but these were powerful poems of mourning, American dystopia, love and climate disaster.

Some favorite poems: 

  • Who died and made you American

  • Rememory

  • In the aftermath of the unforgivable, I raise my doomed, green head

  • Upon learning that some Korean war refugees used partially detonated napalm canisters as cooking fuel

  • Unlove poem 

  • How to let go of the world 

  • Aaron says the world is upside down

  • Wildlife

  • Things that already go past borders

  • Dispatches from a future great great granddaughter
