How poetry can help us think about and live in the Anthropocene by
reframing our intimate relationship with geological time The
Anthropocene describes how humanity has radically intruded into
deep time, the vast timescales that shape the Earth system and all
life-forms that it supports. The challenge it poses-how to live in
our present moment alongside deep pasts and futures-brings into
sharp focus the importance of grasping the nature of our intimate
relationship with geological time. In Anthropocene Poetics, David
Farrier shows how contemporary poetry by Elizabeth Bishop, Seamus
Heaney, Evelyn Reilly, and Christian Boek, among others, provides
us with frameworks for thinking about this uncanny sense of time.
Looking at a diverse array of lyric and avant-garde poetry from
three interrelated perspectives-the Anthropocene and the "material
turn" in environmental philosophy; the Plantationocene and the role
of global capitalism in environmental crisis; and the emergence of
multispecies ethics and extinction studies-Farrier rethinks the
environmental humanities from a literary critical perspective.
Anthropocene Poetics puts a concern with deep time at the center,
defining a new poetics for thinking through humanity's role as
geological agents, the devastation caused by resource extraction,
and the looming extinction crisis.
