The Day the World Ends imagines a world where everyone went to sleep one night, and only one person woke up when the sun rose again. With too much living left to do before she can sleep, she embarks on a cross-country roadtrip in an attempt to answer the question: when we’re gone, what will be left? The Day the World Ends is a narrative journey through loss and finding the love that remains in the aftermath.

Helen Weil is a poet and writer from Chicago. She has a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Creative Writing and a Master’s in Early Childhood Education from the University of Minnesota.

PRAISE:

 

The Day the World Ends is a book of “imagined endings”. It is a reminder that we are “a dying species”, and that in time “our human mightiness” will crumble. It is a “calling home”, a necessary reminder that “love is beauty…no less grand without forever”. Helen Weil has woven a haunting melody of loss and gifted us with an exquisite tribute to life.

–Kao Kalia Yang, award-winning author of The Latehomecomer and The Song Poet.
