Summary:

"An ecopoetic examination of the state of Alabama's nature, A**A*A*A uses symbols and icons to replace letters and words in poems that sometimes invite a child's perspective into the work. Staples completed a residency in Alabama's state parks as part of the project--but she also takes on the state's history of toxic contamination"-- Provided by publisher.
