Cease

Framed by the long poem, "wall", Beth Bachmann's new collection of poetry wildly upturns the boundaries between bodies at peace and bodies at war, between the human territory of border walls and the effects of war on the environment, between the movements of soldiers and of refugees, and between the words of politicians and the breath of a poem.
