Formally adventurous and luminous in its imagery, this collection moves through the space between order and chaos, beauty and destruction — a landscape at once barren and inhospita ble, wild and lush. Kristine Ong Muslim reworks figures from myth and modern technology, from Cyclops and Ovid’s Minotaur to the invisible man and the doomsday juggernaut, into dark poems that move like a sidewinder across the page.
