Climate change is the greatest issue of our time - and yet too
often literature on the subject is considered only in the bracket
of 'environmental' writing, divorced from culture, society and
politics. The New Poetics of Climate Change argues instead that the
emergence of global warming presents a fundamental challenge to the
way we read and write poetry - the way we think - in the modern
age. In this important new book, Matthew Griffiths demonstrates
that Modernism's radical reinvigorations of literary form over the
last century represent an engagement with key intellectual
questions that we still need to address if we are to comprehend the
scale and complexity of climate change. Through an extended
examination of Modernist poetry, including the work of T. S. Eliot,
Wallace Stevens, Basil Bunting and David Jones, and their influence
on present-day poets including Jorie Graham, Griffiths explores how
Modernist modes can help us describe and engage with the terrifying
dynamics of a warming world and offer a poetics of our climate.
