Regreen: New Canadian Ecological Poetry, edited by Madhur Anand and Adam Dickinson
The first anthology of contemporary Canadian poetry to address the environment and environmental concerns.
In this highly timely and one of a kind collection, Madhur Anand and Adam Dickinson have brought together a who’s who of contemporary Canadian ecological poets from across the country and across the spectrum of form—from traditional to experimental—who are united in their attention to our relationship with the environment, and to re-imagining that relationship.
Praise for Regreen:
"Consider the tar sands in northeastern Alberta, coal strip mines in the Crowsnest Pass and the devastated areas around Sudbury and it's clear human beings have no difficulty transforming the earth. But can we restore or renew relationships with our most disturbed places? This new anthology of ecological poetry, featuring some of Canada's emerging and most prominent poets, takes a fresh approach towards our most urgent concern."—Tim Lilburn
"This new anthology, co-edited by a poet and a scientist, takes us beyond environmental awareness into the zones of restoration, reparation and reinhabitation of the land. Poetry changes not just our minds but re-wilds us all over again and sends us back outside with fresh, clean attention to our world. You can read this book with your sleeves rolled up, ready to make a difference."—Pamela Banting
