Everything is Everything

by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz
In her fifth collection of poetry, Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz polishes her obsessions until they gleam. Whether she is exhuming the bizarre (‘A Short History of Unusual Fish’), exorcising her demons, (‘Hog Butcher of Workshop Table’) or celebrating the uncelebrated oddballs of the world (‘Crack Squirrels’), Everything is Everything illuminates the dark corners of the curiosity cabinet, shining light on everything that is utterly strange, wonderfully absurd and 100% true.
