“As the global climate crisis accelerates, Geographia Literaria challenges us to rethink what it means to engage in geography — literally ‘Earth writing’. This innovative collection of provocative essays creates a space where art and the world can meet anew, encouraging all of us to become more fully committed Earthians.”-Douglas Vakoch, Professor Emeritus, California Institute of Integral Studies “How does humanity involve itself with the materiality of earth and what role is played by literature? By asking that essential question, this book invites our engagement in a thrilling adventure that is historically grounded and of essential current relevance. Brilliantly edited, it makes a major contribution to geopoetics by presenting a kaleido­scope of views on the intersection of earth, ethics, and literature. The stunning range and stimulating diversity of chapters offers a wild ride on a profoundly serious vehicle which travels through time, space, materiality, literary arts, and the grappling of huma­ni­ty with the location of our habitation. This book progresses a field, and yet, in its boldness, also serves to define and lay claim to a progressive new direction in literary ethics.”- Lauri Scheyer, Professor Emeritus, California State University
