Moving to Climate Change Hours

Ross Belot’s latest collection is a dark ode to the end of oil. From industrial accidents to frozen highways Belot charts the ends of a life that face a working man in stripped-down lyric poetry. These are poems that have seen it all and acknowledge the darkness that’s coming while still finding beauty in the arched neck of a tundra swan. Belot has a filmmaker’s sense of atmosphere and an environmentalist’s urgency and his stark lines take the reader deep into the heart of industrial man.

Reviews

“Belot constantly shakes up his lingual structures, sometimes tossing in a mucked-with form, then lineating skinny, stretching his prosy arms, scoring slashes, shaping triplets, slotting in a few dark photos.”
