Sorry About the fire by colleen coco collins

Biblioasis, 2024

Spiraling gloriously at ferocious speed, Collins grabs at language from across the centuries. Reading this collection is being on a bullet train of sound and form. It's heart-pounding. Visually, one experiences it as a time traveler whose life is flashing before their eyes as they try to get it down on paper before it’s all over. It is a history of the world and a million-word dictionary raining down on the reader; read with dazzled caution.
