Like Moths to a Flame”: Reading the Animal ‘Other’ in Harry Thurston’s Icarus, Falling of Birds
Canadian ecopoet and naturalist Harry Thurston has spent a whole lifetime paying attention to the more-than-human world, which has resulted in poetry collections and non-fiction books on environmental issues. Drawing on Serenella Iovino’s notion of “non-anthropocentric humanism” and Giorgio Agamben’s thinking on (non)human life and the Western distinction between human and animal, this paper proposes an ecocritical reading of the poetry collectio…
This grief not only ours to bear”: Hope in shalan joudry’s Km+tkinu ( Homeland )
This article argues that the polyphony of shalan joudry’s Km+tkinu (Homeland), an ambitious oral poem that interweaves human voices in 13 languages, is attuned to Indigenous Earth-sensitive ontologies and epistemologies that underscore the plurality of being and the centrality of attention and care to how humankind relates to the non-human world. In so doing, they create a space for decolonizing hope and cultivating planetary solidarity as a cata…
T. S. Eliot and the Presocratics: Four Quartets as Lyric Philosophy
T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets is a complex masterpiece of lyric philosophy that owes much to the deep thinking of the ancient Presocratics. Burnt Norton is preceded by two epigraphs lifted from Heraclitus’s extant fragments. Far from being a mere paratextual threshold, they anticipate philosophical concerns that pervade all four Quartets. This article explores how Heraclitus’s philosophical thought on the logos, the eternal flux implicit in the wor…

Poetry in Pandemic Times: Mourning Collective Vulnerability in Sue Goyette’s Solstice 2020. An Archive
Focusing on Canadian poet Sue Goyette’s collection Solstice 2020. An Archive (2021), this article examines how dealing with the effects of a global pandemic through the medium of poetry can act as a powerful catalyst in raising awareness about collective vulnerability and mourning. During the locked-down days of 2020, Goyette felt it was her responsibility as a poet to find words to convey the sense of shared vulnerability people experienced in t…

This collection is written from very different corners of the globe and signi…

The fragility of a more-than-human world: Ecological awareness in the poetry of Robert Bringhurst
This article examines the poetry and thinking of Robert Bringhurst, a 21st-century Canadian humanist who denounces the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation brought about by the practices of postcapitalism and neo-liberalism in highly industrialized societies. More specifically, it examines two poems from a sequence entitled “The Living” included in his Selected Poems (2009), “The Living Must Never Outnumber the Dead” and “…
Polyphony and ecology: The green world in Robert Bringhurst’s New World Suite No. 3
Canadian poet Robert Bringhurst found inspiration for New World Suite No. 3, a complex poem for three voices in four movements, in the natural polyphony of the Earth and in the vast world of polyphonic music. This article examines the elementary lessons this poet-philosopher learnt from musicians and the world to be able to produce a polyphonic poetry which is intellectually alert to the damage that the human species is doing to the ecosphere. It…
When Poetry Fell in Love with Philosophy: Robert Bringhurst and Sophocles’ Meditation on Human Nature
Of the Snaring of Birds», one of the twelve pieces included in Canadian poet Robert Bringhurst's The Old in Their Knowing (2005).Dedicated to German philosopher Martin Heidegger, «Of the Snaring of Birds» turns out to be a most eloquent version, not a faithful rendering, of the original Greek text by Sophocles, as well as a probing meditation on what makes us truly human.Bringhurst finds literary sustenance in a 2,400-year-old text and makes it b…
The Power and Promise of 21st- Century Literary Criticism
Literature is an ancestral enterprise whereby humans seek to understand reality and make sense of the world at large. A sophisticated construct of the human imagination, Literary Criticism has served the purpose of scrutinizing verbal works of art from a wide range of critical perspectives to find out the truths contained in them about humanity and our world. This is a way of honouring the deep thinking and the beauty inherent in Literature. In t…
