These unflinching lyrics bear witness to the raging wildfires, literal and figurative, of social injustice--from the haunting origins of Lake Lanier to the human rights crisis converging at this nation's borders and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRooted in the Delta South, \u003cem\u003eWildest\u003c\/em\u003e is a sojourn through geographies of loss and hope--from the diasporic flora of the Puerto Rican rainforest, to the microplastics clouding Mt. Fuji, to the iridescent beauty of Gulf Coast oil spills, and more. Investigating turn-of-the-century dream science alongside apocalyptic climate data, this collection insists on a reclamation of wildness. Each poem reaches--through personal memory, archives of public life, and seeds of possibility--toward a richer understanding of our collective unconscious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, this striking debut asks: how might we dream, grieve, and make meaning at this global tipping point?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kira Tucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636143210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636143217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Akashic Books, Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kira Tucker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443093123327,"sku":"9781636143217","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b08cdc3b-6601-4af5-bf88-eaf3e120fe6c.jpg?v=1777201809","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wildest-kira-tucker-9781636143217","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
