Here refugees listen to relaxation tapes that create an Arcadia out of tires and bleach. Here the alphabet spells out disaster and devours children. Here plate tectonics birth a misery rift, spinning loved ones away from each other across an uncaring sea. And here the cosmos--and \u003cem\u003eCosmos\u003c\/em\u003e, as Carl Sagan's hopeful words are fissured by erasure--yawns wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWilder\u003c\/em\u003e is grimly visceral but also darkly sly; it paints its world in shades of neon and rust, and its apocalypse in language that runs both sublime and matter-of-fact. \"Some of us didn't have lungs left,\" writes Wahmanholm. \"So when we lay beneath the loudspeaker sky--when we were told to \u003cem\u003epay attention to our breath\u003c\/em\u003e--we had to improvise.\" The result is a debut collection that both beguiles and wounds, whose sky is \"black at noon, black in the afternoon.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClaire Wahmanholm\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eNight Vision\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2017 New Michigan Press\/DIAGRAM chapbook competition.
