Synopsis

Poems that contemplate the fraught interdependence of the human and more-than-human in an era of extreme environmental degradation.

In the Gorge aspires to full emotional and intellectual recognition of our fraught interdependence with more-than-human ecosystems. The collection also examines the impact of environmental degradation on human relationships, particularly on those of people attempting to create shared meaning beyond that offered by the dominant consumer paradigm. In the Gorge is keen to evoke the ecology of cities and other human-managed spaces, in order to encourage care of the natural world where our impact is greatest, and to combat the harmful myth that nature is over there, in wilderness areas where no humans live. The collection is at pains to navigate the territory between naive nature worship and apocalyptic skepticism, in order to be fully present to what we have done to the Earth and realistic about what attention to the Earth can do for us politically, psychologically, and spiritually.
