Description
We the Destroyers is a collection of poetry about the end of days. It’s a collection about the pandemic, about grief and chaos and loss. But it’s also a collection about survival and redemption and hope. Laura Passin takes the reader through recent years in the United States, where the pandemic and politics have ripped us apart. She trips through a timeline where we don’t recover, where we don’t mend our ways or change our habits. Then she carries us to a timeline where we find sanctuary and then, we come to the bitter end where We the Destroyers are the very thing that saves the world we’ve broken.
Available for pre-order, books will ship late September 2025.
