Jos Charles on Time and Grief
"'I think there's a pretext with narrative and sometimes poetry, that things are supposed to land somewhere, and then you get some sort of meaning you can take out of it,' she says. But for her, even if absolute healing isn't where we're headed, knowing that there is an 'after' can be worth it. And by understanding the limits that time places on us, we can learn to embrace it."

What Sparks Poetry:
Isabel Zapata (Mexico City) on Ecopoetry Now
I wrote the book Una ballena es un país (translated as A Whale Is a Country by Robin Myers), in an attempt to say what the language of the academy and the language of activism hadn’t allowed me to say....I conceived this book as an invitation to challenge the boundaries between action and reality, between poetry and essays and stories, between the role we think we play on this planet and the role that climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction demand we take up. |
