Marisa Williams interlaces poetic patterns to reveal one story about the end of the world. One lady, involved with a drug dealing psychopath, gets pregnant just before the water supply is tainted by germ warefare (an attack on estrogen, causing women to die), and she must seek shelter for her baby after her lover's death. Spenserian sonnets, villanelles, rubiayat and other forms connect with free verse, prose and syllabic writing to make this an interesting read for lovers of poetry; explanation included for those who are not.
