Abstract

This hybrid piece begins as a lyric essay written around Emily Dickinson’s meditation on snow and becomes an elegy to winter. Footnotes frame the recollection/lament, toggling between the history that led us to climate catastrophe, cultural commentary, memory, and reflection on the felt experience of the author.
