there is an earth after innocence is a chapbook collecting nine erasure poems based off christian rock albums. using the lyrics of skillet, disciple, flyleaf, and others as vehicles for grappling with mental illness, queerness, and righteous anger at fundamentalism, the poems will resonate with anyone who used to listen to these bands and has since left them in the dust for a future of liberation.
