"Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples. With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. They explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating...

Next come rafts of poems about making peace (or not) with the complicated bonds of friendship and family, and making peace (or not) with death,...

In purely poetic value, `Paradise regained' is little inferior to its predecessor. There may be nothing in the poem that can quite touch the first two books of `Paradise lost' for magnificence; but there are several things that may fairly be set beside almost anything in the last ten. Above all, the panoramas from the mountaintop in the third and fourth; the terrors of the night of storm; the crisis on the pinnacle of the temple - are quite of the...

80) The tradition
Author
Description
"Jericho Brown's daring new book The Tradition details the normalization of evil and its history at the intersection of the past and the personal. Brown's poetic concerns are both broad and intimate, and at their very core a distillation of the incredibly human: What is safety? Who is this nation? Where does freedom truly lie? Brown makes mythical pastorals to question the terrors to which we've become accustomed, and to celebrate how we survive....
