Review Quotes:
In the midst of present horrors, this collection feels certain to become a treasure of something to hold onto, return to, and keep close. In lyrical precision, these poems expand and gather momentum like a plane in motion, and by the time you reach the end, it feels inevitable to want a round trip back, savoring every word once more.
- Bree Bailey, Author of Wailing on Whisper Street
Christie Beckwith writes with bite and brilliance, proving that even at the edge of collapse, tenderness still packs a carry-on.
- Maria Giesbrecht, Author of A Little Feral (forthcoming, May 2026)
"Split Ends in the Apocalypse is tender, clear-eyed, and deeply human; Beckwith's words travel with fierce agility, resulting in a thoroughly satisfying journey."
