Publisher's Synopsis
Joan of Arkansas is an election-season closet drama about climate catastrophe, divine gender expression, the instructions of angels, and heavenly revelation relayed via viral video. Fifteen-year-old Joan has been tasked by God (They/Them) to ensure that Charles VII (R-Arkansas) adopts radical climate policy and wins his bid as the Lord's candidate to become the president of the United States. Arkansas is flooding, the West is burning, and borders are closed: "Heaven or / internet-it's / hard to be / good." Winner of the 2023 Whiting Award for Drama.
