520    "In Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden, poet and 
       scholar Camille T. Dungy recounts the seven-year odyssey 
       to diversify her garden in the predominately white 
       community of Fort Collins, Colorado. When she moved there 
       in 2013, with her husband and daughter, the community held
       strict restrictions about what residents could and could 
       not plant in their gardens.  In resistance to the 
       homogenous policies that limited the possibility and 
       wonder that grows from the earth, Dungy employs the 
       various plants, herbs, vegetables, and flowers she grows 
       in her garden as metaphor and treatise for how homogeneity
       threatens the future of our planet, and why cultivating 
       diverse and intersectional language in our national 
       discourse about the environment is the best means of 
       protecting it....Soil functions at the nexus of nature 
       writing, environmental justice, and prose to encourage you
       to recognize the relationship between the peoples of the 
       African diaspora and the land on which they live, and to 
       understand that wherever soil rests beneath their feet is 
       home." --publisher's website
