Our Human Shores

<span><p><b><span><i>Our Human Shores</i></span><span> explores living in the Anthropocene, the ecological disasters life faces, and the barriers and inequality society faces in trying to create a better and livable world.</span></b></p><p><span><i>Our Human Shores</i></span><span> is an exploration into how language is rooted within the Anthropocene — and how poetry shapes meaning-making, faith in people and institutions, and death through lyricism, experiment, and ecopoetics. Using a phrase from John Keats’ “Bright Star” sonnet, </span><span><i>Our Human Shores</i></span><span> explores a tautology of thresholds and shores to remake our world, our experience of nature, and our relationship with climate, creation, and humankind’s existential place in a world staring down the apocalypse.</span></p><span><i>Our Human Shores</i></span><span> is a speculative work that will guide humanity through extinction.</span></span>
