Seedwork (On Breaking Open) by Jesse Hill is structured around the pagan Wheel of the Year, moving through its eight sabbats from Samhain to Mabon as both formal architecture and ecological philosophy. Each section carries a brief prose invocation of its corresponding season before yielding to poems that think through soil, mycelium, decomposition, and queer embodiment as interlocking forms of becoming. Hill's poetics are participatory and process-oriented, drawing on posthuman ecology, interspecies mutualism, and a politics of care that refuses to separate the bodily from the environmental: plastics in the womb sit alongside hunger stones and unbreathable air, while fungi, slime moulds, and maggots are figured as agents of regeneration rather than decay. What emerges is a pamphlet in which ecological grief and queer vitality are not opposites but conditions of the same turning ground.
