Description

Until the Red Swallows It All is a collection of essays and vignettes that attempt to capture the magnitude of our ecological situation. Mason Parker's work weaves together stories of people formed by landscape, examining Oklahoma after the big fracking boom as a microcosm of a larger issue.

This book reconciles our past with a future beyond our control, or even understanding, by veering in and out of the political and mostly through the lens of the personal. The result is a unique blend of the personal and the political, reminiscent of a John Prine album or a hillbilly Walden.

With 178 pages of thought-provoking essays, Until the Red Swallows It All offers a nuanced exploration of our relationship with the natural world and our place within it. This is a book that will appeal to those interested in environmental conservation, nature, and literary collections.
