The essays, poetry, and visual art collected here consider the more-than-human cultures of our multispecies world. At a time when humanity's impact has put our planet's ecosystems into great jeopardy, the book explores literary, sonic, and visual imaginaries that feature encounters between and across a variety of living creatures: beetles and bisons, people and pigeons, trees and spiderwebs, vegetables and violets, orchards and octopi, vampires and tricksters. Offering a wide range of critical and creative contributions to Human Animal Studies, Critical Plant Studies and the Nonhuman Turn, the volume seeks to foster new ways of imagining a more "response-able" coexistence on our shared Earth.
"It's an anthology that's got it all: Probably not an easy read for quick reference, but still highly recommended." Ulrike Schwerdtner, http://tierbefreiungsarchiv.de, 8 (2020), translated from German "The volume captivates with its impressive illustrations." Kochen ohne Knochen, 38/1 (2020), translated from German
