the weeds that grow from concrete
GLORIA GALVEZ | 2023gloria galvez’s the weeds that grow from concrete presents a collection of facts, thoughts, and portraits of weeds, all contemplating their complex ecological, political, and material existence. Patches of crabgrass and pine tree seedlings sprouting from concrete floors invite the reader to reconsider what a weed is and what its role can be in our human world. And through poetic narrative, the book reexamines and subtly poses the hostile conditions and survival strategies that weeds use to survive them as strategies that can be used by people to survive the hostile conditions of capitalism.
