Book description: In Mai’a Williams’ latest book, Apocalypse Here, published by Literary Kitchen, they explore living in a small rural Minnesota town in the Driftless region during social and spiritual unrest, climate change, and global and personal tragedies. Interwoven in the text are reflections on rural living, Blackness, Indigeneity, queerness, mothering, spirituality, climate change, ancestors, fugivity, and desire. This book is follow-up to their successful previous book, The Future of Love, published in 2021. Apocalypse Here asks the question–How do we live as the world is falling apart?
