Ark Hive enacts on a formal level the trembling prairie of South Louisiana and so unfolds in a constant state of oscillation: between prose and poetry, fact and uncertainty, the lyric and the visual, English and French, French and Atakapa-Ishak, and, most of all, between celebration of and elegy for the “green bottomland forest, green coastal seas, green marsh grass—prairie tremblant—shifting in the wet.” In an extraordinary and personal meditation on one of the most fractured and ecologically vulnerable regions in the known world, Reed writes as an insider-outsider of the umwelt where she lived for eleven years: “Here and not here, what to make of this place called home?” Through arduous research, oral histories, and even hand-drawn maps, Ark Hive leaves prairie-wide space for the reader to truly consider and understand the impact of racism, corporate malfeasance, and the widening delta of chemical spills on this place and the people who live here. Ark Hive asks us whether we can survive ourselves—our flooding, our oil industry—and if a new sociality, a new way of being withothers, as encapsulated by this book, may help ensure the survival of species, ourselves included.” - Henk Rossouw
"Here. Now. Live. Marthe Reed’s intimate engagement with South Louisiana will moor you to wherever you find yourself. An “act of memory and affection,” ARK HIVE teaches us how to attend to place. “Following the ley-lines carved out in the streets and bayous of a rapidly eroding landscape, this collection refuses stability, confident of the only riddle and the manifold voices activating it.” Reed’s hive is a choral fugue of over 85 voices: jazz legends, FEMA officials, fishermen, botanists, bakers, executives, imprisoned citizens, literary icons—neighbors all—knit multiple languages into an exquisite sampler of contemporary poetics. Lush with flora, hand-made maps, collaged language and altered documents sing resiliency; this “palimpsest of deluge and silt” flourishes amid debacles—Katrina, BP oil spill, and Texas Brine. A spine of questions borrowed from Bhanu Kapil (the how-what-when of bodily love-n-fear) sutures readers into Reed’s tender, monumental dance: “the band is already playing step, slow-quick, quick.” Mesmerizing. It is as if she never left Louisiana, as if she never left us."—Lori Anderson Moseman
