Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

A born-again fundamentalist tells her dying boyfriend that God is testing him; A species evolves for millions of years just to be mowed down by a speeding truck; a young boy finds his pet dog dead in the backyard; An exhausted God is running out of room in Heaven’s memorial garden for America’s school shooting victims. A vulture circles an empty tomb. Spring returns. A child is born.

TOTAL ANNIHILATION is a collection of poems that focus on the concept of death and resurrection; on the mechanisms of collapse and destruction that transform our ways of being; on asking questions and grasping for beauty and renewal in the mouth of the abyss
