Alive at the End of the World

Alive at the End of the World is a powerful and thought-provoking poetry collection that explores the everyday apocalypses we face in our lives.

Through haunting and elegantly crafted poems, Saeed Jones confronts the perils of white supremacy, cultural icons like Little Richard and Aretha Franklin, and the collective grief bearing down on us all.

With a finely tuned poetic ear, Jones identifies moments that seem routine even as they open chasms of hurt, revealing how long and perilously we've been living on top of fault lines.

This is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the intimate grief of a mourning son and the cultural icons that shape our world.
