Flare Stacks in Full Bloom

Poems Volume 1

Beschreibung

"A collection of eco-feminist poetry set in southeast Texas. This region, sometimes called 'Cancer Alley,' is home to the nation's largest oil refinery. It has also been on the front lines of climate disasters such as Hurricane Harvey, the historic flooding from Tropical Storm Imelda, and just last year, Hurricanes Laura and Hurricane Delta. It's a region that feels the tension of climate change: economically, it is dependent on the oil industry, the same industry that poisons its citizens and threatens its lands existence as sea levels rise. Flare Stacks in Full Bloom explores this tension through a chronicle of Hurricane Harvey--before, during, and after the storm, through formal poetry (sonnets, villanelles, and blank verse narratives)"
