He grieves for children in cages and those slain in the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh. But pulsing amid Borzutzky's outrage over our era's tragedies is a longing for something better: for generosity to triumph over stinginess and for peace to transform injustice. Borzutzky's strident language juxtaposes the horror of consumer-culture violence with its absurdity, and he masterfully shifts between shock and heartbreak over the course of the collection. Bleak but not hopeless, \u003ci\u003eWritten After a Massacre in the Year 2018\u003c\/i\u003e is an unflinching poetic reckoning with the twenty-first century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Borzutzky is the author of several poetry collections, including \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Interfering Bodies; In the Murmurs of the Rotten Carcass Economy; The Performance of Becoming Human\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the 2016 National Book Award; and \u003ci\u003eLake Michigan\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the 2019 Griffin International Poetry Prize.
