“Matt and Miranda will have to work together if they want to save Katanga, and both of their lives, before it’s too late.”
–From the publisher
“Otherworldly, lilting—there’s a surreal touch to Cundieff’s verse that can be downright hypnotic. In ‘Everything Cruel Is Also Real,’ we get a memory in second-person: ‘you in a yellow dress against the condition / of your kite string. Taut, it lifts you with a thinnest white, / unwinding, tethered to you, kept like a conversation within your fists.'”
