Karen Mac Cormack's At Issueis a sequel of sorts to Fit to Print(also from Coach House Books), her collaborative poetic examination of the newspaper with British poet Alan Halsey. In At Issue,Mac Cormack examines the format and contents of the lifestyle magazine. Utilizing the vocabulary and spelling found in Vogue(both British and American versions), Self(a health/fitness magazine geared to female readership) and Prevention(another health magazine), the poems in At Issuereflect and refract the experience of reading these magazines. (Mac Cormack notes that an interesting - if frightening - fact is that there are fewer typos in Voguethan in most scholarly books published in North America.) As an alternative to the 'mined' creativity of the magazine poems, Mac Cormack also includes a number of texts from other sources.

Flint’s water supply tainted with lead. Chicago’s toxic “donut.” Louisiana’s “cancer alley.” Corporate waste poisoning developing nations. These are all examples of environmental racism. Readers of this compelling anthology will be awakened to many examples of poor and minority communities that suffer physically, emotionally, and financially from living in a toxic environment. With no political clout and few available resources, these victims find themselves abandoned by the environmental movement and bullied by environmental policies. The burgeoning environmental justice movement argues that environmental protection is a basic right. After reading the informative viewpoints in this volume, students will come to their own conclusions.
