Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how humans can become sensitized to, and intervene in, environmental degradation by writing, reading, analyzing, and teaching poetry. It offers both theoretical and practice-based essays, providing a diversity of approaches and voices that will be useful in the classroom and beyond. The chapters in this edited collection explore how poetry can make readers climate-ready and climate-responsive through creativity, empathy, and empowerment. The book encompasses work from or about Oceania, Africa, Europe, North America, Asia, and Antarctica, integrating poetry into discussions of specific local and global issues, including the value of Indigenous responses to climate change; the dynamics of climate migration; the shifting boundaries between the human and more-than-human world; the ecopoetics of the prison-industrial complex; and the ongoing environmental effects of colonialism, racism, and sexism. With numerous examples of how poetry reading, teaching, and learning can enhance or modify mindsets, the book focuses on offering creative, practical approaches and tools that educators can implement into their teaching and equipping them with the theoretical knowledge to support these. This volume will appeal to educational professionals engaged in teaching environmental, sustainability, and development topics, particularly from a humanities-led perspective.

In a time of climate crisis, the poems in this anthology ask everyone to wake up to the earth, and to cherish it.

Book excerpt: This is our 2nd book of poems about 'climate change'. A considerable part of my introduction to the 1st book was devoted to Trump's shocking promises at the beginning of his presidency. Three years later, we see how the environmental crimes perpetrated by his administration (and supported by the Republican Party, which has long questioned climate science and protected polluting industries from regulation) have further destabilized the environment and sabotaged the efforts of those working to curb the climate crisis.US President Donald Trump, his friends and fellow Republicans, and the many other Trump-like characters who lead governments and industrial conglomerates around the world, think that global warming is not that great problem: the good regulations to protect the environment, are the real problem, because incrementing coal and petroleum extraction is their priority. History will remember them: to indulge their greed, they will have made the future of the planet -and that of hundreds of millions of people- even more in danger.Sadly, too many of us do not realize that, even if we cut greenhouse gas emissions dramatically NOW, their effects will continue because it takes greenhouse gases decades to be removed from the atmosphere. This is what Science says. Yet, just follow social media to realize how widespread climate denial is!A positive note comes from the young: following in the footsteps of Greta Thunberg, millions of young climate activists have started a peaceful 'green revolution'. But.. will they have time to make it happen? One thing is certain: the outcome of November 2020 US elections will be crucial for the planet: the defeat of Trump and the Republican Party is the only hope left to stop climate change before it is too late.Our stupidity has already caused huge damage to Earth. The damage will become immense if we do not wake up quickly from the sleep of reason.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is the greatest issue of our time – and yet too often literature on the subject is considered only in the bracket of 'environmental' writing, divorced from culture, society and politics. The New Poetics of Climate Change argues instead that the emergence of global warming presents a fundamental challenge to the way we read and write poetry – the way we think – in the modern age. In this important new book, Matthew Griffiths demonstrates that Modernism's radical reinvigorations of literary form over the last century represent an engagement with key intellectual questions that we still need to address if we are to comprehend the scale and complexity of climate change. Through an extended examination of Modernist poetry, including the work of T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Basil Bunting and David Jones, and their influence on present-day poets including Jorie Graham, Griffiths explores how Modernist modes can help us describe and engage with the terrifying dynamics of a warming world and offer a poetics of our climate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open your Eyes: an anthology on climate change investigates human relationships with the natural world. Each poem/prose offers a unique perspective on the environment in its own style. Each contributor has interpreted the theme broadly, exploring the issue in different ways-physical, spiritual or emotional through their own unique cultural lens. As climate change continues to wreak havoc on populations across the globe, writers are fighting back with words that jolt, motivate, and in the best of all, provoke one to act. July 2019 was officially the hottest month on Earth since records began. Scientists are arguing that we are out of the Holocene era-the epoch that encompasses the last ten thousand years-and entering a new age-the Anthropocene-where humanity is the main force shaping the planet and nature can no longer be regarded as natural. Open your Eyes is perhaps the best way to bring this new age into perspective. The collection has contributions from some of the best poets writing today-both nationally and internationally.

Book excerpt: This anthology of poems is an emotional exploration of climate change and its underlying attitudes. The poems lie at the intersection of climate change due to global warming and inner transformation. The poems are meaningful, powerful, and thought-provoking. The reader goes on a journey from despair and chaos, ending in a place of quiet optimism. This is a book for the sensitive, the conscious, the eco-warriors, and the introspective nature lovers among us. Intermixing essays with poetry and art, this book is both a balm and a guide for knowing and holding what has been done to the world, while bolstering our resolve never to give up on one another or our collective future. The scope of the poems goes far beyond Connecticut to the whole ecosystem we humans share. With praise and wonder, and sometimes with grief or anger, the poems in this collection pay close attention to our planet and its inhabitants. In a time of climate crisis, the poems in this anthology ask everyone to wake up to the earth and cherish it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under President Barack Obama, the United States pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26-28% from 2005 levels by 2025. President Donald Trump, on the contrary, think that global warming is not that great problem: Obama's Clean Power Plan and the other regulations to protect the environment, are the greatest problem, because incrementing coal and petroleum extraction is his priority. Scott Pruitt, Trump's advisor and the present head of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), publicly denies that CO2 is a primary contributor to global warming --this way the head of EPA negates EPA policy and 'overwhelmingly clear' evidence on climate change. Is this just 'politics'? Or should we call it blindness?the Earth is the only world we have, and the poems of this collection, filled with empathy and sensitivity, thoroughly show our deep concern for the future both of our planet and of humankind -- a future that the latest executive orders coming from the White House make even less comforting..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Irish Poetry and the Climate Crisis addresses what is arguably the most crucial issue of human history through the lens of late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century Irish poetry. The poets that it surveys range from familiar presences in the contemporary Irish literary canon – Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Paula Meehan, Moya Cannon – to lesser-known figures, such as the experimental poet Maurice Scully, contemporary poets Stephen Sexton and Sean Hewitt, and the Irish-language poets Simon Ó Faoláin, Bríd Ní Mhóráin, and Máire Dinny Wren. Adopting a variety of ecotheoretical approaches, the essays gathered here address several interrelated themes crucial to the climate crisis: the way in which the scalar scope of climate change interweaves local and global, distant past and imminent future, nature and culture; the critical importance of acknowledging the complex kinship of the human and nonhuman; and the necessity of warning against the devastating environmental losses to come while mourning those that already occurred. Ultimately, by envisioning new ways of existing on an earth that humans no longer dominate, this book engages in what the philosopher Jonathan Lear refers to as a process of ‘radical anticipation’.

Book excerpt: Green Rape: Poetry for the Environment is an anthology of poems written in strong support of environmental literacy. Each poem is the poet's cry of protest against the rape of natural and built environments. The anthology examines a wide range of issues including the clash of global capitalism with environmental activism. It takes a close look at the major themes in international discourse on environmental degradation, climate change, renewable energy sources, global warming, Gene technology, biodiversity and more. The poet dispels a number of myths, notably the existence of an inexhaustible bank of natural resources at the disposal of Man. He attempts to provide a solution to the abusive and unbalanced utilization of scarce natural resources. In a unique way, the poems contribute to the fostering of environmental awareness that would contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources. The poet invites us to look beyond the doomsday rhetoric about the state of the environment and to commit more of our resources where they will do the most good to lifting the world's population out of poverty. The significance of this anthology to environmental education resides in its contribution to the debate on global sustainable development, especially efforts to protect the environment and eradicate poverty.

"The definitive anthology for this decisive decade" -- Poetry Book Society "The best eco-themed anthology to emerge this year ... dynamic, elegiac and hopeful" -- Rishi Dastidar, Guardian Books of the Year 2021 If you compressed the whole of Earth's history into a single day, the first humans that look like us would appear at less than four seconds to midnight. In the last few seconds, we begin to burn fossil fuels at an alarming rate. The Anthropocene is an artificial geological epoch of our own design - one defined by emergency, with disastrous ecological effects rippling outwards across the entire globe. The illusions of civilisation, progress and choice are crumbling around us, and we are out of time. Out of Time is curated to include five key thematic sections - sequenced to take readers on a journey through various responses to climate emergency today. These sections include Emergency, Grief, Transformation, Work and Rewilding. The featured poems move through anger, confusion, violence and disarray - spheres of dystopia and decimation - to grief, desperation and lethargy, right through to modes of transformation, fable and utopia as well as rites of passage, activism and work. Finally, we land on tender (if fragile) moments of hope, where humans can be both included or excluded from the picture at will. This powerful, timely anthology engages with the power of poetry to ask questions, subvert expectations and raise reader awareness in 2021 - a year defined by responsibility, accountability and opportunity. Edited with an insightful introduction by Kate Simpson and featuring original work from the likes of Caroline Bird, Inua Ellams, Pascale Petit, Karen McCarthy Woolf, Rachael Allen, Raymond Antrobus and Mary Jean Chan, this collection of 50 poems is galvanising, offering compressed worlds, ecosystems and alternate realities - all ready to be opened up, expanded and explored.

Book excerpt: Climate Change is a poetry book by Mahyar Mazloumi. He is an Iranian-Canadian writer/poet. This collection is an English translation of Mahyar's selected poetry during his journey as a poet growing up in Iran and later immigrating to Canada to pursue his goals. In a poetic world, climate change is not only the alterations in weather patterns that are happening due to the Earth’s and human’s activities. Any change in the lifestyle and the place where we live is a kind of climate change that affects our behaviors and decisions. It’s all about changing our moods, thoughts, lives, cities, countries. Change is the only sustainable factor of the world. In the land of great poets such as Rumi, poetry is a big part of the Iranian people's lives. The modern Persian poetry, thanks to free-verse style and its founder Nima Yushij, is much more universal now. Contemporary Persian poetry similar to other languages is facing the problems and needs of modern humans. Therefore, everyone around the world could read the translations and feel these poems. If you like contemporary poetry, you will enjoy reading this book.
