The World Keeps Ending and the World Goes On: Poems

"“I was born from an apocalypse / and have come to tell you what I know,” declares Franny Choi at the outset of her electric third collection. In conversational poems that are ever-pushing against boundaries – around gender, identity, politics, love and more – Choi offers a guided tour of a pandemic-stricken America, glimpses into family history, and unabashed lamentations for a falling world. “I liked the old dystopia better,” she writes, somehow, making the apocalypse fun."
