Natalie Diaz Of Course She Looked Back
b'Is there a character (from history, politics, or literature) whose story you want to tell from a new perspective? \\n\\nThis poem is told from the point of view of \\u201cLot\\u2019s wife,\\u201d a biblical character who was turned into salt because she looked back to see the burning of Sodom, her home city. The poet shows us what Lot\\u2019s wife sees: towers swaying, guitars popping, dogs weeping and roosters howling. By mixing the modern with the everlasting, Lot\\u2019s wife is humanized and justified.'
