A review by hannahvwarren
Render / An Apocalypse by Rebecca Gayle Howell

5.0

An astonishing work of lyricism and precision, Howell's Render / An Apocalypse concentrates on memory and trauma. She notes how close we are to slaughter, which lies directly on the other side of a door we've closed. Bloody, visceral, often painful.

"Forget you are an animal

Forget ancient rummaging
pigs wild in their snouts

Forget you ran with them

Wild among trees
Wild in your tree"
