ROOTLINES
|
"A stunning ode to a landscape the author knows intimately."
-Kirkus Review Kelsey Day’s sophomore poetry book, rootlines, is a visceral collection about hope during the apocalypse. It blurs the lines between the human and non-human world, colonial perceptions of “nature,” and pays testimony to the Appalachian mountains that have long been abused by the fossil fuel industry. Both literary and accessible, this is a collection about place, risk, and grief – about the roots we grow from and the branches we reach with. These are poems grounded in place; it is therefore essential to recognize that southern Appalachia as we know it today was built on stolen land. Donate to the Indigenous Environmental Network here.
