Let's Not Live on Earth

More about the book

Exploring anxieties and injuries, this poetry collection delves into self-consciousness as a transformative tool. Blake vividly portrays fear through the classification of monsters and tangible violence, particularly within the domestic sphere where safety is elusive. The poems confront the dangers faced by humans, especially women, while suggesting pathways to resilience. The final section features a feminist science fiction epic, "The Starship," which examines perception and experience through a woman's journey of self-discovery amid a shifting world.
