Nayar maps a poetry of ecological care, vulnerability and resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e While environmental fiction has been widely studied, environmental poetry has not received the same level of attention. In \u003ci\u003ePostcolonial Poetry and the Environment\u003c\/i\u003e, Nayar studies the work of over 50 poets from the Global South and the formerly colonized, including John Kinsella, Tanure Ojaide, Linda Hogan, Kofi Awonoor, Okot p'Bitek, Ben Okri, and Sherwin Bitsui. He traces an ecological consciousness that cuts across human and nonhuman, living and non-living domains. This book is interested in the making, unmaking and remaking of worlds and meanings in the age of cataclysmic climate shifts, while aware of the histories that fashioned the planet in unjust and unequal ways, and to which the poets bear witness, as well as proposing alternative ways of seeing and meaning-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePramod K.
