Description
Daniel Borzutzky's Written After a Massacre in the Year 2018 is a powerful poetic response to the violence and injustice of our time. The collection is an unflinching reckoning with the twenty-first century, as Borzutzky confronts the horrors of consumer-culture violence and its absurdity. Through his strident language, Borzutzky expresses outrage at the military industrial complex, xenophobia, and hate crimes, while also conveying a deep longing for something better: generosity, peace, and justice. The result is a bleak yet hopeful collection that masterfully shifts between shock and heartbreak. Borzutzky's poetry is a call to action, a challenge to consider the consequences of our actions and the impact they have on others. Written After a Massacre in the Year 2018 is a necessary and timely work that will resonate with anyone concerned about the state of our world today.
