"The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics offers a comprehensive coverage of the vital and growing movement of ecopoetics, charting the historical influences informing ecopoetics, delineating its various subdivisions, and presenting a global range of established figures and emerging scholarly debates. This volume begins with a general introduction to the field, followed by three major sections: Historical Contexts and Influences; Scalar Levels of Poetic Engagement, ranging from global through regional, terrain-oriented, local, and microscopic; and Intersections, examining poetic encounters with science, critical animal studies, philosophy, ethnobotany, environmental justice, visual and performing arts, disability studies, spirituality and ritual, and translation. The innovative second section will facilitate a comprehensive and systems-based sequencing, including ecopoetic engagements with topics including climate change, deforestation, extinction, pollution, toxicity, and disasters; fieldwork and close observation, and chemistry as it relates to environments including the human body. Each section will feature a broad overview and detailed consideration of poiesis, with reference to specific texts. The brand new essays in this book represent a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and critical approaches exploring the interdisciplinary field of ecopoetics. Glossaries and cross-references will facilitate the volume's usefulness alongside its' global, interdisciplinary breadth to establish The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics as a landmark textbook and reference for a variety of researchers and students"-- Provided by publisher.

Ecocriticism and environmental communication studies have for many years co-existed as parallel disciplines, occasionally crossing paths but typically operating in separate academic spheres. These fields are now rapidly converging, and this handbook aims to reinforce the common concerns and methodologies of the sibling disciplines. The Routledge Handbook of Ecocriticism and Environmental Communication charts the history of the relationship between ecocriticism and environmental communication studies, while also highlighting key new paradigms in information studies, diverse examples of practical applications of environmental communication and textual analysis, and the patterns and challenges of environmental communication in non-Western societies. Contributors to this book include literary, film and religious studies scholars, communication studies specialists, environmental historians, practicing journalists, art critics, linguists, ethnographers, sociologists, literary theorists, and others, but all focus their discussions on key issues in textual representations of human-nature relationships and on the challenges and possibilities of environmental communication. The handbook is designed to map existing trends in both ecocriticism and environmental communication and to predict future directions. This handbook will be an essential reference for teachers, students, and practitioners of environmental literature, film, journalism, communication, and rhetoric, and well as the broader meta-discipline of environmental humanities.

Empire and Environment argues that histories of imperialism, colonialism, militarism, and global capitalism are integral to understanding environmental violence in the transpacific region. The collection draws its rationale from the imbrication of imperialism and global environmental crisis, but its inspiration from the ecological work of activists, artists, and intellectuals across the transpacific region. Taking a postcolonial, ecocritical approach to confronting ecological ruin in an age of ecological crises and environmental catastrophes on a global scale, the collection demonstrates how Asian North American, Asian diasporic, and Indigenous Pacific Island cultural expressions critique a de-historicized sense of place, attachment, and belonging. In addition to its thirteen body chapters from scholars who span the Pacific, each part of this volume begins with a poem by Craig Santos Perez. The volume also features a foreword by Macarena Gómez-Barris and an afterword by Priscilla Wald.
