This book takes the work of three contemporary poets-John Burnside, John Kinsella and Alice Oswald-to reveal how an environmental poetics of place is of significant relevance for the Anthropocene: a geological marker asking us to think radically of the human as one part of the more-than-human world. "Thomas Bristow brings together the worlds of ecocriticism and cultural geography in a lyrical examination of the self, the dynamism of rapid environmental change and the challenge of the human within the world of the Anthropocene, the geological and metaphorical era where humanity is a biophysical planetary force." - Libby Robin, Professor of Environmental History, Australian National University, Australia.
