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. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness-between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest-could look like. This book ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.
