Goners is available for pre-order. I'm so grateful to the poets who spent time reading the book and wrote words in support of it. Here's what Kiki Petrosino has to say:
In these harrowing poems of climate despair, Maxwell rakes elegiac songs from the "sunken forms" that appear, in language and in landscape, as species vanish from our planet. These lyrics, virtuosic in their attention to image, line and sonic texture, pour into each animal-absence a full measure of radiant grief for all we've lost, and are losing. With each poem, Goners opens profound spaces of inquiry, of mourning, and of reckoning unlike any I've read before; this book is a tour de force.
