A note for parents
This is a sophisticated, adult-oriented poetry collection with dark and political themes, not typically aimed at children. The abstract language deals with colonialism, control, silencing, and existential themes rather than explicit content. While thematically mature and intended for thoughtful readers, the actual violence and scary content appear metaphorical rather than graphic. Best suited for high school or college-level readers with interest in literary and political poetry.

This dark and thought-provoking poetry collection is co-authored by four multi-award winning authors and poets, Ai Jiang, Angela Yuriko Smith, Eugen Bacon and Maxwell I. Gold. anOther Nemesis unravels sinister speculative poems themed The Colonizers, Primal Sources, Nameless Others and Crooked Ontologies. It reconnoitres words as weapons, reshaping to the unworldly, casting transfigurations of that which was never meant to be changed, and featuring poignant behind-the-poems by each poet. The extraordinary assemblage interrogates the ways cultures, language, information, and the lack thereof are used as means of control; how voices will always rise against systems that rewrite identity, suppress truth, and silence dissent; the distinctions of purity and diffusion and the infinite number of fates upon which our existence is simultaneously contingent; how ubiquitous indifference can sometimes be the cruelest villain of them all . . . and more!
