Industrial Oz: Ecopoems, by Scott T. Starbuck Review "We've started to see poetry and music and art emerge that challenge this deepest question. It's crucial because we don't just need the side of the human brain that understands pie charts and bar graphs engaged in this fight -- we need the whole brain and the whole heart. Industrial Oz is a rousing,needling, haunting case in point." -- Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature"Industrial Oz may just be the most cogent and sustained collection of quality eco-activist poetry ever written in this culture, this country." Thomas Rain Crowe, Publisher of New Native Press "'Are you really awake?' asks a bumper sticker in an early poem. After reading these poems, you will be." Marybeth Holleman, author of The Heart of the SoundAbout Starbuck's Ecopoetry:"Starbuck brings the personal and the political quickly together as in his short poem about the melting ice caps, entitled 'How It Is.' The poem begins: 'Sometimes you forget Greenland exists/ like two pages stuck together in a novel . . . . Then it melts and Holland disappears.'" - Bryan R. Monte, Amsterdam Quarterly"Kairos , sudden insight, grabs reader and writer . . . . It gifts poet Scott Starbuck with lightning-quick vision." Sandra Alcosser, author of Except by Nature and A Fish to Feed All Hunger

By Phillip Barron The parables in Industrial Oz are rife with echoes of June Jordan, who says of activists “you do / something, rather than nothing.” Often in Starbuck’s poems, the powerful and the vulnerable trade places. Because they do something rather than nothing, “At the Nevada Nuclear Test Site” "grandmothers / are arrested / imprisoned / to make way / for the blast. / / A sheriff explains / the old women / are dangerous."Full review at The Quarterly Conversation

Starbuck's "Industrial Oz" is an exquisite volume of poems lit with piercing insights on humans and the earth. Its elegiac wisdom tackles the catastrophes and near disasters wrought by our squelching footprint and quests for power.
