Camille T. Dungy, Poet, Scholar, and Author
In Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden, Camille T. Dungy recounts the seven-year odyssey to diversify her garden in the predominantly white community of Fort Collins, Colorado, which limited what residents could plant in their gardens. In resistance to these restrictive policies, Dungy employs 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.
