Description
An atmospheric rumination on gendered violence, cosmic collapse, and colonialism.
From deep inside a black hole, comes Nothing at All-the space where everything collapses: form, genre, gender, and being. Olivia Tapiero's poetic and essayistic fragments overflow with lyric beauty as they explore how colonialism, illness, and desire intertwine amidst personal and collective suffering. Generations, geographies, and desires mingle, contaminating one another in these anarchic, insubordinate texts. Here, the written word disrupts foundations and nations, claiming its own survival.
