“Death, in a Fashion” in Unfixed Timelines 3

Unfixed Timelines 3 included one poem, “Death, in a Fashion.” This poem was inspired by my knowledge about fashion trends that are detrimental to the environment and the human body, as a result of the chemicals they use in production or extraction (or the byproducts of those). It dances through time, including arsenic green, radium watches, and modern gold and denim production/extraction. It is, like many of my more environmentally oriented poetry, quite bitter.

“Death, in a Fashion” originally appeared in just femme and dandy in June 2021, and was reprinted in Unfixed Timelines 3 and Unfixed Timelines Omnibus.
