- Book Synopsis
- Our Human Shores explores living in the Anthropocene, the ecological disasters life faces, and the barriers and inequality society faces in trying to create a better and livable world.Our Human Shores is an exploration into how language is rooted within the Anthropocene - and how poetry shapes meaning-making, faith in people and institutions, and death through lyricism, experiment, and ecopoetics. Using a phrase from John Keats' "Bright Star" sonnet, Our Human Shores explores a tautology of thresholds and shores to remake our world, our experience of nature, and our relationship with climate, creation, and humankind's existential place in a world staring down the apocalypse.Our Human Shores is a speculative work that will guide humanity through extinction.
