Beast of the World

by Chris Morgan

Overview

Part love song, part eulogy, part interrogation and resistance, ​Beast of the World ​chronicles Chris Morgan's incisive exploration of biosphere in decline. These thirty-five poems scintillate with erotic engagement, grief of loss, and moments of transcendent connection. This is an urgent little book of psalms for our time, one in which Morgan articulates psychic landscapes as inextricable from the physical world. The "Beast" roaming this remarkable first collection is not only animal and machine but the human heart in its full-throated, fractured cry.
