Look At This Blue

Interweaving elegy, indictment, and love letter to California, Look at This Blue calls into America's genocidal past and present as it warns of a future threatened by mass extinction and climate peril. Stark, immediate truths permeate this book-length poem by American Book Award winner Allison Adelle Hedge Coke. From found historical materials to piercing, lyric fragments, these poems form a taxonomy of threatened lives--human, plant, and animal--in a century marked by climate emergency. Look at This Blue insists upon a reckoning with America's continuing violence toward Earth and its indigenous people, as Hedge Coke's hypnotic litany of loss spirals into a powerful crescendo of resistance.
