Armageddon Bootcamp: ...and other poems

by Maria Elizabeth Rosales, Deborah L. Fruchey (Editor)

The poems in this collection sing like “one voice split into so many bodies,” praising the full arc of human experience, from the abandoned child who wonders “Why was I with orphans when they were not dead?” to the wanderer who learns “The stones talk. / They tell me / that after all I belong.” Maria Rosales takes you on a journey from innocence to wisdom, from rebellion to acceptance, from holding on tightly to graciously letting go, all the while inviting you to turn “honeycomb /eyes to witness / your myriad selves.” —Cheryl Dumesnil, author of "Showtime at the Ministry of Lost Causes"
