Lyrical and surreal, At the Big Bang Resort’s poems reckon with time, love, violence, memory, and the fragile continuities that bind us to one another and to the worlds we inherit. Art, erasure, and witness recur as forms of survival, as Rachlin navigates cities and wilderness, grief and desire, asking how to live with what cannot be fixed, how to remember what resists forgetting, and despite it all, to celebrate.
