Franny Choi joins us on Queers at the End of the World to talk about her upcoming book, The World Keeps Ending, and The World Goes On, full of magnificent poems on apocalypse, grief, and branching paths at the scale of the planet and the personal. Join us for a conversation with one of the artists we most admire, as we careen from chosen family to apocalyptic histories to snails in drag to femme bots, to poetry as a way of experiencing the futures we want to bring into being. And while you’re listening, order your copy of The World Keeps Ending, and The World Goes On, out from Ecco now!
