Summary:Bianca Stone's latest poetry collection explores what it means to be alive in a complex, changing world. Across fifty-one poems, she moves from everyday moments--like an intimate conversation with an internet technician--to big ideas drawn from mythology, philosophy, and psychology. Blending cultural references from Rilke to Jordan Peele's Nope, Stone reflects on identity, parenthood, mortality, and global uncertainty with wit and emotional honesty. The result is a vivid, thoughtful collection that finds meaning in both the ordinary and the mythic.
