Description

The first book of poetry from Aleksandar Hemon, a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, National Book Award finalist, and budding multi-hyphenate artist. The Future of Everything distills Aleksandar Hemon's humor and heart through life's vast mysteries and into verse. The collection is rooted in the experiences of war and the failure of America, where language and memory are the tools of investigation of the poet's position in a disintegrating world and in a disintegrating body. Capturing moments that exemplify the strength of humanity's bonds, and what is simultaneously divine and mundane about all that we are capable of doing to one another, The Future of Everything elucidates the indelible beauty of being alive and the immense value of love in the face of this world's horrors.
