The Smell of Good Mud Lauren Zuniga First edition

Nationally acclaimed for her poem, To The Oklahoma Lawmakers, which MoveOn.org called "The most riveting message about the war on women in under three minutes,? Zuniga's newest collection of poetry, The Smell of Good Mud, explores the wild terrain of queer, feminist, collective living in the conservative state of Oklahoma. Set in a house named Clementine, these poems offer a communal meal, a radiant love affair and the inner carnival of a single mother.
