Parizeau’s poem ["Angle of Repose"] borrows the title of Wallace Stegner’s acclaimed novel to give new meaning to rapid changes to western landscapes, about which Stegner wrote extensively. In a way,

 Parizeau’s piece picks up Stegner’s message and 
 'places' it in the Gulf region, making the narrative 
 of environmental destruction not only a regional 
 story, but a national (and societal) one as well.
