The two-year blockade on logging roads and in tree-sits became the largest act of civil disobedience in Canadian history--this multi-genre work brings the reader to the front lines of the fight for human and non-human survival in a climate catastrophe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrainor asks what, if anything, ecopoetry can do in the face of intensifying extraction of ecological capital. Can poems incorporate non-human species, like the oldgrowth specklebelly lichen that thrives in Fairy Creek, into their very form? How can poetry resist the urge to \"capture\" the non-human object and instead approach nature with sympathetic care? How might a poem offer an opportunity, like sunlight penetrating a clearing in the forest, to think about nature, to approach, and to be approached by the nonhuman? How might poetry contribute to a co-making of the world with more-than-human-species?\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Regina Press","offers":[{"title":"Blue thinks itself within me | Kim Trainor | Paperback | 9781779401205 | New | Poetry 1757485","offer_id":49228838895768,"sku":"1757485","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/617QmPM-HjL.jpg?v=1781193996","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/blue-thinks-itself-within-me","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
