Contemporary Irish Poetry and the Climate Crisis addresses what is
arguably the most crucial issue of human history through the lens
of late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century Irish poetry. The
poets that it surveys range from familiar presences in the
contemporary Irish literary canon - Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon,
Paula Meehan, Moya Cannon - to lesser-known figures, such as the
experimental poet Maurice Scully, contemporary poets Stephen Sexton
and Sean Hewitt, and the Irish-language poets Simon O Faolain, Brid
Ni Mhorain, and Maire Dinny Wren. Adopting a variety of
ecotheoretical approaches, the essays gathered here address several
interrelated themes crucial to the climate crisis: the way in which
the scalar scope of climate change interweaves local and global,
distant past and imminent future, nature and culture; the critical
importance of acknowledging the complex kinship of the human and
nonhuman; and the necessity of warning against the devastating
environmental losses to come while mourning those that already
occurred. Ultimately, by envisioning new ways of existing on an
earth that humans no longer dominate, this book engages in what the
philosopher Jonathan Lear refers to as a process of 'radical
anticipation'.
