"Joshua Lew McDermott's first book offers poems astonishing for their range, both in their geographies and in their emotional register. The poetry is fiercely honest and self-revelatory, and expresses an expanse of feelings, from sexual ecstasy to scourging grief, from rage to sparkling joy, in language so clear and precise that every moment is rendered unforgettable, and immutable.

"This is the book that calls bullshit on the vast economic wasteland created by nonpoets. This book is antithesis to the horrific, the balm we need to heal from it. These poems of love a...

M. Tyler Esplin's (1991-2018) work epitomizes the poetry and aesthetic of America's Mountain West counterculture in the early 21st century.

By exploring the ways children function discursively within a dystopian framework we may better understand how and why traditional notions of childhood are repeatedly tethered to sites of adult conflict and disaster, a connection that often functions to reaffirm the “rightness” of past systems of social order. This collection features critical articles that explore the role of the child character in post-apocalyptic cinema, including classic, recent, and international films, approached from a variety of theoretical, methodological, and cultural perspectives.
