All the Emergency-Type Structures - Paperback

by Elizabeth Cantwell (Author)

All the Emergency-Type Structures is a poetic survival manual for those in need of shelter from climate change, American life, motherhood, technology, death, and extinction. These poems navigate both cultural anxieties--climate change, American consumerism, technological creep--and personal anxieties--motherhood, apocalyptic thinking, suburban complacency. What does it mean to face a future in which building emergency-type structures may be necessary for our survival?
