116 poets explore how the environment shapes our lives and how we shape the environment in Rewilding: Poems for the Environment, a new anthology edited by Crystal S. Gibbins.
Rewilding features the work of both established and emerging poets. Contributors include 12 poet laureates including Joy Harjo, poet laureate of the United States, and Minnesota’s poet laureate Joyce Sutphen, the work of renowned poets such as Elizabeth Bradfield, Kimberly Blaeser, Fleda Brown, Camille T. Dungy, Sean Hill, Ted Kooser, Ada Limón, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Craig Santos Perez, Karen Solie, and many more.
Rewilding features a considerable range of voices, styles, and approaches from a diverse group of contemporary poets. Readers will find poems that are explicitly activist in their political dimensions, some more implicitly so, raising ethical and philosophical questions about responsibility and community.
“As an avid canoeist whose Boundary Waters campsite was once overrun by mice, I especially loved former U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser’s “A Mouse Nest.” No matter what your memorable moments with nature and wilderness, no matter what your race or gender, you’re going to love this extraordinary collection of poems. ”
