The two-year blockade on logging roads and in tree-sits became the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history—this multi-genre work brings the reader to the front lines of the fight for human and non-human survival in a climate catastrophe.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTrainor asks what, if anything, ecopoetry can do in the face of intensifying extraction of ecological capital. Can poems incorporate non-human species, like the oldgrowth specklebelly lichen that thrives in Fairy Creek, into their very form? How can poetry resist the urge to “capture” the non-human object and instead approach nature with sympathetic care? How might a poem offer an opportunity, like sunlight penetrating a clearing in the forest, to think about nature, to approach, and to be approached by the nonhuman? How might poetry contribute to a co-making of the world with more-than-human-species?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kim Trainor (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48264897462494,"sku":"9781779401205","price":27.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_f6aac131-46d1-4bf8-b896-8a92ea993898.jpg?v=1779237418","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/fr\/products\/9781779401205","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
