Tree Talks
Poetry. Photography. Art. Wendy Burk's TREE TALKS: SOUTHERN ARIZONA contains eight interviews with Southern Arizona trees. Documentation and methods join and interweave these entirely readable soundscapes. As the poet explains in the Introduction: "I came to this study as a way to consider ethics, environment, politics, communication, and failure to communicate. In carrying out the work, I asked myself how the underlying privileges and assumptions of my writing are complicit with the dominant culture's drive to dominate, through warfare, science, or art. The poems in TREE TALKS: SOUTHERN ARIZONA take those assumptions to what I hope is a useful extreme." "These are the most usefully extreme ...
Against the Current
The poems in Against the Current expose a mind moving fast as water. Tedi López Mills renders a river as a cool but contaminated space, propelling its detritus through a hybrid rural/urban zone that is inhabited by allegory and rife with collision. As the poems swim upstream, they accrue the impurities and complicities of memory, embodied in the central figure of the brother who is also the other. Wendy Burk reproduces the baroque, occasionally frenetic rhythms of the abecedarian original with lucidity, in these poems that underscore that Mexico is defined by physical and philosophical contrast.
Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities
The Routledge Handbook of the Digital Environmental Humanities explores the digital methods and tools scholars use to observe, interpret, and manage nature in several different academic fields. Employing historical, philosophical, linguistic, literary, and cultural lenses, this handbook explores how the digital environmental humanities (DEH), as an emerging field, recognises its convergence with the environmental humanities. As such, it is empirically, critically, and ethically engaged in exploring digitally mediated, visualised, and parsed framings of past, present, and future environments, landscapes, and cultures. Currently, humanities, geographical, cartographical, informatic, and comput...
While Light is Built
Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Wendy Burk. "We hear a subtle call and response in Tedi's work. Private event and history and the sensual world prompt each other and choir to suggest not predictable epiphanies, but a congeries of provocative ambiguity that only coheres between light and the trace of a gesture...the falling and rising rhythms of death and desire...I've been waiting hungrily for this moment and whether or not you know it yet, you have too"--Forrest Gander. Tedi Lopez Mills is a poet, essayist and translator who was born in Mexico City.
The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics
The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics offers comprehensive coverage of the vital and growing movement of ecopoetics. This volume begins with a general introduction to the field, followed by six sections: Perspectives: broad overviews engaging fields such as biosemiosis, kinship praxis, and philosophical approaches; Experiments: formal innovations developed by poets in response to planetary crises; Earth and Water: explorations of poetic entanglement with planetary chemical and biological systems; Waste/Toxicity/Precarity: poetics addressing the effects of pollution and climate change; Environmental Justice and Activism: examinations of poetry as an engine of political and cultural change; Re...
Connecting Lines
"Since the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, the United States and Mexico have been inextricably linked. The blending of the American and Mexican cultures has enriched both nations. Through a partnership to promote wider access to literary voices of Mexican artists in the U.S. and American writers in Mexico, the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Embassy in Mexico, and the National Autonomous University of Mexico have joined together to support a program of anthology publications and public outreach activities. The two-volume set-Lineas conectadas: nueva poesia de los Estados Unidos and Connecting Lines: New Poetry from Mexico-is the first installment in the series. With definitive translations by leading writers and scholars, these dual volumes offer a glimpse into the beauty of the Mexican and the American experience through the microscopic lens of poetry. Whether read for personal pleasure or classroom study, Lineas conectadas and Connecting Lines are a must-read for anyone curious of our ever-increasing multicultural identity."--Publisher's website.
