February's Book: The Exclusion Zone by Shastra Deo
About the Book
The Exclusion Zone by Shastra Deo is a collection of poems that paints an incredibly bleak yet moving picture of our future. The book is a poetry of warning, of séance, of incantation – a poetry of what survives, where the apocalypse-to-be manifests in human tenderness and vulnerability.
