started reading after i bought it on ‘back of beyond books’ in moab during a spring break service trip. it’s a whiplash prose between the deepest types of despair (destructive capitalist behavior, climate catastrophe, death, no future, erosion of community) and hope (respect of indigenous practices, self discovery, better things are both necessary and possible, there is a future if you can imagine it)
i never know how to feel about authors putting the most intimate details about their lives into a public work, particularly when coupled with poetry. good read, i think the pain (pain of life and of artistic vulnerability) is worth the read
