Drucilla Wall grew up in Philadelphia. Reflected in her work are diverse ties to home places ranging from Missouri, Nebraska, Alabama, and Pennsylvania; to the settings of County Wexford and Galway, Ireland. Her writing engages her mixed heritage of Creek/Muscogee American Indian, Irish, and Jewish identity. This debut poetry collection reflects on the elusive forces of landscape, history, family, and spirit that resist exploration yet lay claim to who we are.
In response to the growing scale and complexity of environmental threats, this volume collects articles, essays, personal narratives, and poems by more than forty authors in conversation about "thinking continental"-connecting local and personal landscapes to universal systems and processes-to articulate the concept of a global or planetary citizenship. Reckoning with the larger matrix of biome, region, continent, hemisphere, ocean, and planet has become necessary as environmental challenges require the insights not only of scientists but also of poets, humanists, and social scientists. Thinking Continental braids together abstract approaches with strands of more-personal narrative and poetry, showing how our imaginations can encompass the planetary while also being true to our own concrete life experiences in the here and now.
