The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On

by Franny Choi

Description

In this searing, luminous collection, Franny Choi traces what it means to live through repeated endings—personal, political, and planetary—without surrendering to despair. Across poems that move with urgency and tenderness, the book follows speakers navigating grief, love, and survival as they confront systems that keep breaking people and futures that refuse to stay still. With sharp wit, intimate imagery, and a deeply human voice, Choi explores themes of resilience, community, and the stubborn, everyday work of continuing. Part elegy and part ignition, these poems insist that even when the world feels like it’s ending, life keeps finding ways to go on.
