Description
Bestiary Dark explores the intricate relationship between humans and the natural world. Marianne Boruch draws upon her experiences in Australia to ponder the question: is the world finite? Her poems are aided by a range of creatures, from wallabies and platypus to an enigmatic Archangel, as well as the wisdom of Indigenous Elders.
Written following Boruch's Fulbright in Australia, these poems reflect on the devastating impact of climate change, including droughts, fires, and floods. They confront the unsettling legacy of human activity on wildlife and consider the potential for solace and repair through learning.
Bestiary Dark is a thought-provoking collection that faces the challenges we face in our relationship with the natural world. With its unique blend of insight, beauty, and urgency, this book invites readers to reflect on their place within the world.
