About this book

The World Keeps Ending and the World Goes On Franny Choi’s poetry anthology, “The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On,” delves into the concept of apocalypses, both past and future. It underscores that for certain marginalized groups, the apocalypse is not a distant event but a lived reality.

The verses span different eras, from the horrors of World War II to the looming threat of climate change, and even venture into the realm of the future. The book advocates for solidarity among marginalized communities and all life forms, envisioning our shared survival. It serves as a poignant reminder that life persists, despite numerous endings.
