About Field Guide to the End of the World:

"In Field Guide to the End of the World, Jeannine Hall Gailey allies herself with the mutants of the world—from zombie stripper clones to teen girl vampires—but unlike them, she is haunted by the possibility of the world and the self coming to an end. Wry, heartsick and shot through with black humor (Martha Stewart's 'Guide to Apocalypse Living' dispenses advice on 'storing munitions in attractive wicker boxes'), these poems about transformation and extinction mournfully remind us via post-apocalypse postcards, notes and instructions, 'we were not here first, we will not be here last.'"
