DRINK COLD, PISS WARM

DRINK COLD PISS WARM is an epic poem written by Anna McCarthy during her three-month stay at the Villa Aurora - Los Angeles in Los Angeles in 2015 accompanied by imagery and research notes gathered during that time. The title references an excerpt from Henry Miller’s novel Black Spring, which similarly scolds the human race for its dealings with nature. It documents her impressions of California in its fourth straight year of drought and the accompanying environmental consequences and social issues."
