Revitalising conversations around environmentalism and ecopoetics, this new gathering of African, Asian and Caribbean diaspora voices is both urgent and inspirational.
There has been a welcome surge of nature writing in recent years. Yet this has raised questions as to whose voices are privileged and heard in a space predominantly occupied by Western European traditions and authors. In Nature Matters, poets Mona Arshi and Karen McCarthy Woolf seek to redress this imbalance. Their genre-enriching anthology presents brand-new commissions alongside formative works from the past fifty years that invite us to reconsider nature poetry from global-majority perspectives. Image-rich and formally diverse, the poems explore fundamental and ecological themes including climate crisis and the Anthropocene; urban nature, solitude and alienation; protest and radical empathy; Indigenous wisdom and alternative histories.
''A vigorous and timely hymn to the universality of nature. It''s amazing that Nature Matters hasn''t existed until now.'' Sathnam Sanghera
''An exquisitely profound and groundbreaking testament to our natural world by many of the most powerful poetic voices of our times.'' Bernardine Evaristo
‘This anthology is a revelation.’ Guardian Best Recent Poetry
