Seasonal Disturbances: Environment, Climate Change, and Anthropocene Poetics of Relation in Karen McCarthy Woolf's Poetry

Abstract

It's quite powerful and it's quite frightening to think of the Anthropocene in this way -almost like scar tissue, that this is occurring. The speed at which these changes are happening is accelerating. And we do get to these points of the unknown. (Karen McCarthy Woolf and Yvonne Reddick, 'Seasonal Disturbances,' p. 6).Is this some community we rhizome into fragile connection to a place? Or a total we involved in the activity of the planet? (Edouard Glissant, p. 206.
