Description: A long poem by Christina Pacosz, originally published in 1983 by Seal Press. This edition contains a new introduction by David Chorlton and an epilogue by the author, bringing the reader up-to-date about the Hanford nuclear plant, its closing and cleanup.

"The passage of twenty-five years has not diminished the relevance of [these] poems. As I have followed Christina Pacosz's work, I have been impressed by her vision of the world, beset as it is by the problems she addresses. If poetry is to be returned to circulation after a time in the dark, let it be the poetry that exposes recurring concerns and shows determination to deal with them."
--David Chorlton, in his letter of nomination
