Atomic Coffee

In this short haiku collection, emerging poet Rebecca Buchanan brings us to the emotional epicenter of four of the most famous nuclear incidents in history. Atomic Coffee takes its readers through the many stages of disaster as it is experienced by those closest to it--from initial danger to decades of destruction. Using the haiku form as a precise vehicle, Buchanan provides a narrative driven by its vivid imagery and persistent detail. Accessible, sincere, and evocative, the poems in this short collection offer readers a new way to grapple with the nuclear past, and demand they examine our nuclear future.
