ad, gifted by publisher - this is a highly experimental collection of punk poetry sang to the theme of the apocalypse, discussing desire, exploitation, and family relationships, both present and historical. the poems were jarring and unnerving, which made for a conflicting reading experience due to the heavy themes and apocalyptic undertones, it was a hard and upsetting book to read; i could tell that this was intentional as it was very well executed - it’s very hard to make a poetry collection both incredible and so unsettling without one effecting the other, but Price manages this amazingly. very interested to read more of their work in the future.
