- Title
Roots of a Clear-Cut: Tracing Feminist Orientation and Environmental Legibility in Twentieth Century Women's Life Writing.
- Authors
Fairfield, Catherine
- Abstract
(272) There are a number of dead women in Doubiago's life that direct the meanders of the poem, including her mother, the mother of Ramon (Doubiago's lover), Doubiago's grandmother, and Doubiago's grandmother's daughter for whom part one of the poem is dedicated. She learns the forest's wild and undisturbed past, then revisits it on a bus journey accompanied with several men when the forest has been clear-cut, and finally returns with her partner - a woman - to see the replanted managed forest that now occupies the site.

(104) Grover's "trash tree" pulls the clear-cut forest to the "lowly" level of landfill, emphasizing the proximity of landfills to actual nature sites and also the destructive treatment of wilderness by humans.[7] A clear-cut, here, turns a forest to trash.
