Are we living in a shitty heaven or a tender hell? Chris Martin’s poems wrestle with reconciling the shocking horrors and common graces of everyday life in America. Format: Paperba ck / softback Length: 112 pages Publication date: 22 October 2020 Publisher: Coffee House Press Join Chris Martin for a poetic walking tour of hell—or is it heaven? In this wickedly clever collection, Martin asks how we go about living in the tension between protesting lunatic politicians and picking up the kids from school, mourning a dying Earth and making soup, combating white supremacy and loving our dear ones. Martin’s poems pick at the tender scabs protecting our national and individual identities, and call for more honest healing. Things to Do in Hell channels 2016 anger into 2020 action with sophisticated, rhythmic verse that compels us to beat our swords into ploughshares and join the fight.
