In a poetry collection spanning time, from the past to the future, Franny Choi draws out how the world has always been inherently apocalyptic for marginalized people, and how dystopian events, from the transatlantic slave trade to the ongoing climate crisis, have always existed. Through lines that radiate with precision and clarity, Choi prompts readers to consider that the next calamity has always been around the corner—and that togetherness and community help make living through it all bearable. —Mahita Gajanan
