One time, a senator from Oklahoma made a snowball, walked with it to the well of the chamber, held it up and said, “See! Global warming [climate catastrophe] is a hoax.” No, it isn’t. And in the West, where I live—where millions of people live—there are a thousand more politicians just like him. I wrote The Book of Drought about the future. But it’s for now.

What Sparks Poetry: Cynthia Cruz on Reading Prose
"With capitalism, this constructive destruction is perverted and, instead of constructivity arising from destruction, we have only pure destruction. Stanzas four through six speak to this destruction, capitalism’s contamination. In, for example, the lines, 'Damage/from the inside,' the contamination occurs through subject formation which means it happens internally, through the mind." |
