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\n\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":"University of Regina Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52443813839159,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":151.43,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781779401205-1.jpg?v=1783237214","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781779401205","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
