Description
Look at This Blue: A Poem by Allison Adelle Hedge Coke
This powerful poem weaves together elegy, indictment and hope to form a love letter to California, while also examining America's genocidal past and present. Through an assemblage of historical record and lyric fragments, Hedge Coke catalogues the loss of threatened lives - human, plant and animal - in a century marked by climate emergency.
Look at This Blue insists upon a reckoning with and redress of America's violence toward Earth and its peoples, as Hedge Coke's poem crescendos into resistance. A book-length exploration of truth and loss, this work is a call to action against mass extinction and climate peril.
