Böcker av Meredith Stricker

"Rewild is a collection of documentary lyric poetry that explores places that, having been ravaged by war and environmental plunder, have since been abandoned to regenerate and restore. At this moment where we find ourselves in the Anthropocene, the poems hover between ruin and restoration. They open ways we can ask transformative questions and turn ourselves into these questions that begin to tunnel through difficulty and despair into "another spreadsheet than human ... chromosomal and intricate". To begin to unbuy ourselves, to rewild our communal lives"--

Our Animal hybridizes novel flaking into poetic forms like a gnat swarm, magnetic filings, or migratory flux. It's a fierce inquiry into Othering, tracking Kafka's life through his identification with animals, especially those hunted or outcast. We are entangled in biography as biology-paradisiacal transfiguration that leaves out no being.
