Evelyn Reilly’s most recent book of poetry, Apocaplyso, continues the dystopic re-working of poetry about the biosphere that she began in Styrofoam (Roof Books, 2009). Reilly’s new work eschews form for contour, syntax for taxonomy, and content for thematics. A lot of writers essay new nature poetry. Reilly changes the nature of poetry by reflecting structures of the environment in her poetic performance. Apocalypso ends poetry as we know it with a bang.
Evelyn Reilly lives and writes in New York City. Her previous books include Apocalypso and Styrofoam, also published by Roof Books; Hiatus and Fervent Remnants of Reflective Surfaces.
