No Matter How It Ends (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781956578300)

E.J. Rode's debut poetry collection begs us to invest in love, regardless of the consequences. These poems courageously traverse the lands of the heart-romantic, familial, and intrapersonal-offering observations on how love can both nourish and hurt. This book reminds us that we can always count on the moon to help keep our chins up, and we can always count on home to keep us grounded-metaphors that make appearances throughout the collection.

This poetry collection was the finalist for the 2022 Birdy Poetry Prize.
