Revelation

Revelation: An Apocalypse in Fifty-Eight Fights by Andrew Rihn uses 100-word prose poems to immerse us into the fifty-eight professional fights of Mike Tyson. The voice of an Old Testament prophet shines through the fight commentary, and relates Tyson to a modern day Elijah—climbing the mountain to do battle, and climbing back down to a world of depression, anxiety, and alienating silence. Rihn’s poems are masterfully crafted, and his language is stunning in its elegance.
