Description
Anthropocene Poetics: Deep Time, Sacrifice Zones, and Extinction by David Farrier explores how contemporary poetry offers frameworks for thinking about our relationship with geological time. By examining diverse lyric and avant-garde works through the lenses of environmental philosophy, capitalism's impact on environmental crisis, and multispecies ethics, Farrier rethinks the environmental humanities from a literary critical perspective. At the heart of this book is a concern with deep time, defining a new poetics for understanding humanity's role as geological agents, resource extraction's devastation, and the looming extinction crisis. This thought-provoking work provides a unique perspective on how poetry can help us navigate our present moment alongside deep pasts and futures. Through its interdisciplinary approach, Anthropocene Poetics sheds light on the urgent need to reframe our relationship with time and the natural world.
