Brian Teare – It’s the End of the World & We Know It (January 2023)

Focusing on poems by Lucille Clifton, Jody Gladding, Oliver Baez Bendorf, and Emily Dickinson, Brian Teare offers an ecopoetic model of environmental writing and reading, one that contextualizes “nature” within the social as well as the ecological. Challenging the dualist model of nature as something that lies outside of culture, a social ecological approach asks us to write and read about the more-than-human world from a perspective located within a complex interdependence.
