Pierced by grief and charged with history, this collection from Saeed Jones confronts the everyday apocalypses of contemporary life. Through a blend of memoir, fiction, and persona, Jones strips away American artifice to examine the intimate experiences of a mourning son alongside the broader collective trauma of the nation. These poems utilize wit and elegant craft to navigate the perils of white supremacy, invoking cultural icons to illuminate the chasm between public performance and private pain.
