One of Big Other's "Most Anticipated Small Press Books of 2020" In
this fiercely feminist ecopoetic collection, Kathryn Nuernberger
reclaims love and resilience in an age of cruelty. As the
speaker-an artist and intellectual-finds herself living through a
rocky marriage in a conservative rural state, she maintains her
sense of identity by studying the science and folklore of plants
historically used for birth control. Her botanical portraits of
common herbs like Queen Anne's lace and pennyroyal are interwoven
with lyric biographies of groundbreaking women ecologists whose
stories have been left untold in textbooks. With equal parts
righteous fury and tender wisdom, Rue reassesses the past and
recontextualizes the present to tell a story about breaking down,
breaking through, and breaking into an honest, authentic expression
of self.
