"In this electrifying debut, Franny Choi leads readers through the complex landscapes of absence, memory and identity. Beginning in loss and ending in reflective elation, Floating Brilliant Gone explores life as a brief impossibility, "infinite/until it isn't. Punctuated with haunting illustrations by Jess X. Snow, Choi's poems read like lucid dreams that jolt awake at the most unexpected moments." (Write Bloody Publishing 2014.)
