Description

Baby Schema by Isabel Galleymore A collection of poems that explore the power and play involved in creating new life, whether biologically or through animation. In this deliberately queasy ecopoetics, cuteness is examined alongside hyper-capitalism and environmental crisis. The speaker dreams of quitting adulthood and an endangered world, finding solace in the relationships between humans, animals, and the natural world. Lyrics and syllabically-constrained fables examine the complexities of care-giving and the consequences of our desires. Through a unique blend of studies of wild creatures and everyday life, this new nature is revealed - one shaped by the extremes of our contemporary world.
