Description
Craig Santos Perez's Habitat Threshold is a powerful collection of eco-poetry that explores his ancestry and the ecological plight of his homeland. The book begins with the birth of his daughter, capturing her growth and childlike awe at nature's wonders. As it progresses, Perez confronts environmental injustices, toxic waste, animal extinction, water rights, human violence, mass migration, and climate change. He mourns lost habitats and species, while envisioning a sustainable future where ethics are shaped by the indigenous belief that the earth is sacred and all beings are interconnected. Through experimental forms, free verse, prose, haiku, sonnets, satire, and his unique "recycling" method, Perez has created a diverse collection filled with passion. Habitat Threshold invites readers to reflect on the damage done to our world and look forward to a better future with urgency and imagination.
