D has flown off to a conference in Albuquerque. I'm alone with the cats, wine, and lists of new journals to send work to.
I've just finished Bate's Song of the Earth (which see at left). Great stuff. If you're dropping by here looking for ecocriticism and/or ecopoetics, go out right now and buy this book. Chapter Nine has a great reading of Heidegger, all the better for discussing Heidegger's Nazi warts. He asks for poems to create the self and world while responding to the world and respecting the earth. Tall order. I like it.
