I had the incredible honor of hearing Franny Choi read a few of these poems last week as part of the Juniper Writing Insititute at UMass Amherst. The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On is poetry for our dystopian present, a little sexy, a lot sad, and a moderate amount of hope in community and each other. Choi has this incredible ability to capture exactly what lies at the heart of some very complex issues, such as the poem in ode to Grace, a Black girl imprisoned for not finishing her homework. She treats every subject with such care and dignity. It was an honor to hear her read and an honor to exist at the same time as such incredible writing.
