'The awkward geometry of a warming oblate spheroid' is about climate change. The oblate spheroid is, of course, the Planet Earth. The movement through the various forms in this sequence of poems can be interpreted to echo the disruption caused by catastrophic climate events, as the shape changes from the formal and lyrical, to free verse, concrete poetry, and ultimately a parody of all that has been lost.
