Alt-Nature by Saretta Morgan

Condition: new
Coffee House Press, 2024

ALT-NATURE MOVES IN DESERT DREAMS AND RIVERBEDS, AN EMERGENT CHORUS FEELING TOWARD LANGUAGES OF CONNECTION IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST.

These poems open to the desert as a practice of sensuality. Landscapes and Black queer social ecologies illuminate an anti-map of interior poetics and converging horizons. Here, geography forms the basis of feeling. Being and becoming along meridians of environmental degradation, globalized/ing militarism, and incarceration, Saretta Morgan thinks through the languages that instantiate violence alongside those which prepare the body for love.
