While hymns are traditionally means of communicating the divine, Hymnal for Catastrophe invests sacred forms in the ordinary and commonplace. Falling out of love, losing a friend, not having money to buy food: these things we experience all the time can often feel as profound and catastrophic as the end of the world. The manuscript is a blend of poetry and lyric essays that deal with these themes, elevating molecular catastrophes to the level of apocalypse. This is a chapbook collection by René Bennett.

René Bennett writes at the meeting point of desire and catastrophe. His work has been published in Hobart Pulp, Expat Press, Fourteen Hills Magazine, Ligeia Magazine, SCAB Magazine, and others. René has been featured in the exhibition Yours, (SVA Galleries, 2024).
