Synopsis

Empire’s End delivers a powerful impact and is a thought-provoking collection. It fearlessly delves into political and social issues, while also offering a window into the author's introspective journey. The haunting imagery of "We sit under haunting sun—/gaunt, tawdry, eyes waiting…/Waiting for endless dirt/and thirsty worm.” This vividly captures the essence of the human spirit, perpetually driven to persevere despite adversities, despite knowing we all will die. Crowley, in a poignant reminder, assures the reader that one's instinct for survival will guide their actions when tested. He states, “you will do what you need/to survive.”

—Gloria Mindock, editor of Červená Barva Press, award-winning author of ASH


Empire’s End is a book about beginnings and trajectories. These poems travel— Bethlehem, Russia, Rome, Uttar Pradesh, a Gulu Gulu open mic— with a variety of companions, including Bastet, Buddha, and Pantagruel. Covid and its effects lurk within and infuse many of these poems, including a dream about uncles bearing groceries. Peter Crowley reminds us that “birth is an accident and life absurd” and, truly, “we’re all in this together.”

Mary Buchinger, author of Navigating the Reach (Salmon Poetry) and Virology (Lily Poetry Review Books)
