Inspired by Mike Berners-Lee’s seminal call to arms — \u003cem\u003eThere is No Planet B\u003c\/em\u003e, Damon Hubbs creates a frightening pastoral of toxic hazards and modern nightmares. The heart of the world is contradictory, and Hubbs exhumes the voices and language of the past to confront the contagions of the present — environmental degradation, the climate crisis, and the entangled mutualism of man and nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe poems in \u003cem\u003eSkins Under the Hammer\u003c\/em\u003e burn with lyric intensity. They explore traditional and modern poetic forms such as the Ubi sunt and Duplex. At the same time, many of the poems are assembled with experimental fragments and unconscious associations, manic blooms of Romanticism and archaic English — a sonic texture that walks the line between horror and elegy, warning sign and celebration. \u003cem\u003eSkins Under the Hammer\u003c\/em\u003e is a deep dive into the Anthropocene. The hills have eyes. A river runs through it. But the elements are changing faster than we want to admit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eDamon Hubbs is the author of several collections of poetry, including \u003cem\u003eVenus at the Arms Fair\u003c\/em\u003e (Alien Buddha Press), \u003cem\u003eCoin Doors \u0026amp; Empires\u003c\/em\u003e (Alien Buddha Press), \u003cem\u003eCharm of Difference\u003c\/em\u003e (Back Room Poetry) and \u003cem\u003eThe Railroad Poems\u003c\/em\u003e (LJMcD Communications).
