<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"A book full of great poems written by one of the hottest people I know."</p><p><br></p><p>-Mira Gonzalez author of <em>I Will Never Be Beautiful Enough to Make us </em></p><p><em> Beautiful Together</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Once in a while, a work comes along that knocks the genre off its feet, and Lisbon's collection is this book. Sharp, rich, and topical, Lisbon has a keen ability to toss handfuls of glitter onto everyday life and all it entails."</p><p><br></p><p>-Mathieu Cailler, award-winning author of fiction, poetry, and children's </p><p> books</p><p><br></p><p>"<em>Baby's First Apocalypse </em>is like a bag of mysteries & secrets dumped onto the floor where Zara Lisbon & you sit crosslegged, picking up a mystery & examining it, & </p><p>then the next, & the next, all night, until sunrise lights the windows & your eyes hurt. Sometimes witty & sometimes weepy, the book muses on bruises & Taylor Swift & the many confusions that lie between. It speaks with deceptive nonchalance about searching for intimacies & homes that always seem to twist out of reach. Yet just when it seems the idealized abstractions might get the better of things, Lisbon drops out of the </p><p>contemplative into direct & embodied realizations like "when I cough, I sound like my mother." The darkest places often get the most sunlight & an identity can be shipped across the country for a price, but <em>Baby's First Apocalypse </em>reminds us that despite this, we continue, breathing & loving & failing & confiding our mysteries & </p><p>secrets with one another. And this continuing is a kind of victory."</p><p><br></p><p><em></em>-Mathias Svalina, author of <em>Wastoid, The Destruction Myth, Creation </em></p><p><em> Myths, </em> and many more</p>
