Poetry in Place, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Poetry in Place is a curated anthology for readers who love both poetry and the land. The subject matter addresses a very specific territory: the "land between the waters" of Lake Ontario and the Grand River, west of Toronto and east of London, in southern Ontario. The anthology includes poems by more than forty contemporary poets of different ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. They pondered the natural world around them, and asked themselves, "What is it that the land has to say to us?" In these days of climate disruption, biodiversity loss, a new awareness of the dire history of colonized Indigenous peoples, and the spectre of global pandemic, how can we hear the voices of the natural world? We suggest that poetry offers a powerful mode of attention and analysis, now as it always has done.
