Generation Chaos

Generation Chaos: We Were Here is a raw, unflinching archive of coming of age in a world already engulfed in flames.Blending poetry, memory, whispers and witness, Cemmi Rane writes from the eye of the storm-where school shooter drills replace recess, where rights vanish by executive order, and children carry climate grief like a second spine. In this world, womanhood is a war zone, queerness is a politicized issue, and truth itself is being slowly redacted.These poems do not beg or plead for hope.They remember.They resist.They ache towards the fever-dream like memory of childhood in a long forgotten world.We ache towards softness anyway.This is not dystopia.This is a generation trying to live through it-holding each other with ink-stained hands and hearts,writing we were here into the rubble before it disappears.
