Description
In these searing poems, Tiana Clark turns heat into language—tracking the ways love, labor, and survival leave marks on the body and the land. Across a series of intimate, high-voltage scenes, the collection follows speakers navigating grief and desire while confronting the systems that scorch communities and shape what it means to endure. With sharp imagery and lyrical precision, the poems braid personal memory with broader questions of power, environmental precarity, and the politics of care. Equal parts witness and ignition, this book burns with urgency, inviting readers to feel how beauty can coexist with damage—and how language might still make room for repair.
