Last Sext

Melissa Broder’s fourth poetry collection, Last Sext, delves into themes of existence, love, death, and transformation with raw, intense language. Described as a blend of elegy, confession, and battle cry, it explores the concepts of mortality and longing through a series of symbolic false endings that suggest possibilities of rebirth and renewal. Celebrated as one of The New Yorker’s Books We Loved in 2016, the collection offers a provocative and deeply visceral experience.
