mice inherit apocalypse explores the lines between the poetic, the political, and the absurd convergences of the two. Using free verse, the collection considers lines both short and brutal, long and languid, and the stories built from both across a strange, utterly American era. In these times, what will the mice inherit?  #politica  #inthesetimes #poetry

Emma Johnson-Rivard is a midwestern writer of poetry and weird fiction. As a child, she was diagnosed with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAD) and severe dyslexia. Subsequently, she told it was unlikely she would ever learn how to read. It was deemed similarly unlikely that she would ever graduate high school. Several years later, she did just that, before moving onto degrees from Smith College and Hamline University. Born in Minnesota, she currently resides in Ohio, where she is a doctoral student at the University of Cincinnati. Today, she lives with a tortoiseshell cat and a large collection of books. Her poetry has appeared in BackchannelsThe Scop Literary and Fine Arts JournalLavender ReviewCollateral, and many others. Her short fiction has appeared in Strange HorizonsTales to TerrifyMoon City Review, and others. She can be found @blackcattales on Bluesky and at emmajohnson-rivard.com.

PRAISE:

Mice Inherit Apocalypse confronts collective mortality amidst the absurdities of daily life while insisting on the inching persistence of meaning. In this collection, dreams become “Roses / on the tongue, and under the skin” and words are what will survive us. Plainspoken but crackling with sly, off-kilter observations, Johnson-Rivard’s weaves wit, anxiety, and vulnerability into poems that land with gut-punch clarity.
