Book Synopsis
Examining a wide variety of poets from the last three decades of the 20th century to the present, from Asian, African, South American and settler colonies such as Canada and Australia, this book maps an ecopoetics of vulnerability and resilience. While environmental fiction has been widely studied, ecopoetry has not received the same level of attention. This book studies the work of over 50 poets from the Global South and the formerly colonized, including John Kinsella, Tanure Ojaide, Linda Hogan, Kofi Awonoor, Okot p'Bitek, Ben Okri, and Sherwin Bitsui. It traces an ecological consciousness that cuts across human and nonhuman, living and non-living domains. It is interested in the making, unmaking and remaking of worlds and meanings in the age of cataclysmic climate shifts, while aware of the histories that fashioned the planet in unjust and unequal ways, and to which the poets bear witness, as well as propose alternative ways of seeing and meaning-making.
