Apocalypse on the Linoleum - Josette Akresh-Gonzales - Bog

Apocalypse on the Linoleum grapples with big stuff - religious and cultural identity, climate change, motherhood, death, history - with an unflinching eye and a paradoxical, active hope. Gutsy, raw, and bold, the poems often use a narrative frame and speak through a Jewish lens to encounter emotional issues. From the intimate details of childbirth to assisted suicide to protestors losing blood to alternate names of God, this collection exposes our relationship to the earth, our place in the universe.
