Extinction
Luis Neer's debut collection, Extinction , serves doubly as a study on wilderness and an examination of the cycle and distinct stages of heartbreak. Blurring the line between confessional poetry and autobiographical panic-myth, and set against backdrops of the decayed Appalachian towns that have shaped the poet's adolescence, Extinction comprises Neer's first major contribution to contemporary poetry.

A beautiful collection of poems that exposes how growing out of adolescence is much like the extinction of a species. Fitting title, the regard for gods and the wish to kill the ego packaged in familiarity. A relatable work that I can definitely see myself thumbing through in the future.

Picked this up at the bookshop today to flip through. Apparently the author is from WV. Great language and intriguing form.
