An Eclectic Bestiary Encounters in a MorethanHuman World (Paperback)

Paperback. 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. The book engages critically and creatively with manifold encounters between species, fostering new ways of imagining a response-able coexistence in a more-than-human world.
