Description
Book SynopsisCharts the course of the American literary response to the twentieth century's accumulation of environmental deprivations. The essays range in subject matter from twentieth-century examples of what was then called nature writing, through writing after 2000 that gradually redefines the environment in increasingly human terms.
Trade ReviewMultitudinous writers have been rattling the shakers and clanging the cymbals for a long time to bring attention to the natural world, especially its plights. With this collection the
Georgia Review establishes its history as a venue for these prophetic and prescient voices, especially in opening dialogues to those who have been too long excluded. This is fine reading - so many ideas, so much truth, so much power packed in here. This is a book I'll reach for again and again." - Janisse Ray, author of
