Drafted on foot, these site-specific poems document rivers, cities, forests, oil spills, mountains, and apocalyptic visions. They encounter refineries and urban watersheds, megafauna and industrial toxins, each encounter intertwining ordinary life and ongoing environmental crisis. Days pass: wartime days, days of love and sex, sixth extinction days, days of chronic illness, all of them doomstead days. Through these poems, we experience the pleasure and pain of being a body during global climate change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrian Teare is the author of six critically acclaimed books, most recently \u003ci\u003eDoomstead Days, \u003c\/i\u003e which was longlisted for the National Book Award in Poetry, and \u003ci\u003eCompanion Grasses, \u003ci\u003e which was a finalist for the Kingsley Tufts Award.
