A review by heatherd
Alive at the End of the World by Saeed Jones

challenging dark emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

I struggled a little bit with this collection. I was really getting it throughout the first half, but the second half sort of tapered off for me and I was less connected towards the end of the collection. I love the creativity Jones shows here and how he plays with form and structure. And of course, the theme of us already being at the end of the world shines all the way through, and is a way to tie together themes that, at their surface, don't seem super cohesive. I appreciated this collection a lot but did not love it.
