A haunting, jagged, beautiful, raging, joyful collection, as vast as the horrors of history and as intimate as the spots where we hide from our parents. A roaring rushing apocalypse of grief and violence and the maw of white supremacy devouring bodies and stolen land, an apocalypse of robots made to feel pain and white boys shooting up schools and Black folks’ songs stolen for white profit. The End of the World is in the phrase “essential worker.” The end of the world is everywhere, behind and beneath and ahead of us.
I throw around easy words like “staggering” or “astonishing,” but this book silenced my inner voice, left me open and wordless and awed.
