No One Ever Falls Down - Paperback

by Amy Billone (Author)

No One Ever Falls Down (2026)-a standalone book of prose poems and a follow-up to Amy Billone's award-winning The Light Changes (2013)-recounts a hallucinatory love story unfolding in two voices. First, a glitching embodied artificial intelligence, perhaps real, perhaps imagined by the poet, enacts the trauma of a father's death and the silencing of a daughter's voice. At last, the daughter breathlessly speaks for herself. No One Ever Falls Down is a book about a poet's urgent need to reach not only her father but also her readers. Miraculously, Billone's book fulfils its feverish promise: to catch you, and to hold you high above the ground, long past luminous Midnight.
