George Hart's Finding the Weight of Things stresses the poet Larry Eigner's longstanding interest in ecology and environmental politics, not only as subject matter for his poems but as coextensive with his particular embodiment. Not only did Eigner live as a differently abled person, he wrote from within an awareness of a threatened and vulnerable globe. Hart's masterful application of ecocriticism and disability theory makes this a vital and important contribution to Eigner's work, specifically, and postwar poetics generally. --Michael Davidson, author of Invalid Modernism: Disability and the Missing Body of the Aesthetic
