Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, the poems explore the profound impact of living near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Richland, Washington. Kathleen Flenniken reflects on her childhood experiences and the environmental devastation revealed decades later, juxtaposing personal loss with collective denial. The work grapples with themes of betrayal, identity, and the struggle to reconcile painful truths, as Flenniken confronts her own memories and the legacy of radiation exposure that affected her community and her friend’s family.
