new york ironweed was selected for the 2025 Ottoline Prize.
new york ironweed is a field guide unlike any other. An intimate companion to take along with you on walks in New York or anywhere, new york ironweed‘s poems are energetic supersonic living beings. Intentionally “imperfect,” the electric poems invite typographical irregularities, mirroring ecological realities. The hyper-conscious poems emerge from our shared experience of climate and insect crisis, paying care and attention to the plants wildly growing from cracks in concrete. These strange, witchy creatures err without erring as they decompose like plants back into the soil. Deutch’s plants-as-poems build new interspecies architectures through their transcendent being.
