The Survival Expo

In her third collection, Caki Wilkinson steers us into flyover country-from its gun shows and high school gyms to the gates of Graceland-as she explores the relationship between fear and self-protection, both the ways we weather the past and how we carry it with us. Through an array of voices and forms, The Survival Expo finds music in the mundane-and hope, too, in the worlds we make to survive the world that made us.
