{"product_id":"85-true-minor-ecologies","title":"85% true\/minor ecologies","description":"While following in the footsteps of Zora Neale Hurston, Kristen Gallagher finds H.P. Lovecraft alive and well in Florida. Written as a series of first-hand accounts from the gooey, disorienting, mutant front lines of climate change, 85% TRUE\/MINOR ECOLOGIES explores the eco-horror of everyday-life. In this book, we find a Florida filled with islands of cannibal snakes; starfish devouring their own flesh; poisonous frogs that may or may not have been weaponized by the government; and New Age cultists diving for Ponce de Leon's lost relics. Ranging freely across poetry, fiction, and anthropology, Gallagher constructs a new nature writing in which partial untruth becomes an essential way of expressing the full horror of the slow-death of our world. Fiction. Hybrid Genre. Environmental Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGallagher, Kristen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kristen Gallagher's books include \u003cem\u003eGrand Central\u003c\/em\u003e (Troll Thread 2016) and WE ARE HERE (Truck Books 2011).
