An Eclectic Bestiary ¿ Encounters in a More¿than¿Human World

<p>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 <i>Human Animal Studies</i>, <i>Critical Plant Studies</i> and the <i>Nonhuman Turn</i>, the volume seeks to foster new ways of imagining a more »response-able« coexistence on our shared Earth.</p>
