Beschreibung

"Revell's fifteenth collection weaves anxiety and morality into a tangled web, asking how we're supposed to live in a world where our imaginations can cause irreparable harm. These poems investigate the immediacy of our lives, what it means to be living, and the magnitude of our own humanity. In our culture of technological advancement and communication, the poems explore how the desires for "more" and how feeding this greed and fear can be detrimental to empathy. Probabilities, mortality, curiosity and the unknown keeps us living (living in the sense of feeling alive and not just existing)"--
