<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of hybrid essays that engage the intersection of habitats, horticulture, and histories--poetic, personal and otherwise.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The color green is at the center of the spectrum. For earlier writers like Emily Dickinson or William Blake, the green world was a space of haunting, irreconcilable, opposites: life and death, human and vegetal, innocence and experience. In these essays, letters, repetitions, and experiments, poet and scholar Gillian Osborne adds a third, contemporary, term: the environment as both vital and ailing. This is nature writing outside of adventure or argument, ecological thinking as a space of shared homemaking: reading, writing, and living in vicinity with others.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Gillian Osborne writes prose lithely and thinks with quickness and imagination. I think I learned something or saw something freshly on almost every page of her <i>Green Green Green</i>.-<b>Robert Hass</b></p> <p>This innovative volume showcases a capacious range of critical approaches to the diverse forms, social practices, and political imaginaries of contemporary ecologically oriented poetics. Drawing poetry and environmental theory into compelling new configurations, Ecopoetics: Essays in the Field offers an essential field guide to ecopoetics in a calamitous era.-<b>Margaret Ronda</b></p> <p>These incisive essays offer persuasive arguments for the relevance of diverse poetry to the actualities of ecological damage. They demonstrate how many contemporary poets, whether writing about green stuff, cities, selves, or language, take a critical stand alongside environmental scientists and campaigners, offering vital resources for our altering world.-<b>Peter Middleton</b></p> <p>ushly literary and downright gorgeous, Green Green Green creates a confluence of theory, personal history, literary history, and the natural world. "Reading takes place," Gillian Osborne shows us, by bringing us to places where her reading has brought her, always enacting a "pivot from literature to nature and back again." Reinventing the way we think and write about literature and the environment, these essays do what the best essays do: they give us what Osborne calls "an approximation of a wild within an increasingly tame space.--<b>Cecily Parks</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Gillian Osborne is a writer, educator, and aspirational gardener living in California. She is the co-editor of a collection of critical essays on modern and contemporary ecopoetics, and teaches for the Harvard Extension School and the Bard College Language & Thinking Program.
