Intimacy: The Poetics of Thick Time 2. Entangled: The Poetics of Sacrifice Zones 3. Swerve: The Poetics of Kin Making Coda: Knots in Time IndexReviewsThe Anthropocene spells trouble: not only with respect to the global environmental changes, largely for the worse, to which it refers; but also in terms of the troublesome nature of the word itself. David Farrier's brilliant elucidation of a multi-faceted 'Anthropocene poetics' delves into these troubles with great philosophical, scientific, social-ecological and aesthetic discernment. Whilst acknowledging the limited efficacy of poetry in response to the immense challenges of our perilous times, his carefully contextualized close readings of exemplary texts do indeed demonstrate how literature, and other art forms, can 'help to frame the ground on which we stand as we consider which way to turn.' This is, moreover, not only a work about poetry: it is also an exquisitely poetic work of scholarship. --Catherine Rigby, Bath Spa University, author of Dancing with Disaster In Anthropocene Poetics, David Farrier ventures into a poetics of the Anthropocene and calls for the need to create 'an Anthropocenic literary imagination.' Exploring the Anthropocene conundrums and dysphorias with avant-garde and lyric poetry, Anthropocene Poetics will certainly change the way we perceive deep time as well as our understanding of the poem. Imagine a creative becoming enfolded by the new poetics of deep and thick time! --Serpil Oppermann, Cappadocia University The Anthropocene needs poetry. With its vorticular temporalities, swift shifts in scale, enmeshment of the human and the nonhuman, and constant challenges to the adequacy of language, this age of ecological crisis may never be better understood by any other technology--even as the Anthropocene changes what we understand a poem to do. David Farrier's brilliant new book is a rapturous meditation on ecocriticism, time, the limits of human comprehension, and the power of the humanities in a turbulent era. --Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, author of Stone: An Ecology of the Inhuman The Anthropocene spells trouble: not only with respect to the global environmental changes, largely for the worse, to which it refers; but also in terms of the troublesome nature of the word itself.
