"lettuce lettuce please go bad is an incantation and a plea for transformation. Using the idea of compost as composition -- since the organic process of recycling leaves, words, or food scraps into valuable fertilizer enriches both soil and human life -- the book draws on divination systems, herbal healing rituals, the cycles of the moon, experiences of stress and grief, and inherited and invented agricultural practices to tease out the poetics of rural embodied language.
