Revitalising conversations around environmentalism and ecopoetics, this new gathering of African, Asian and Caribbean diaspora voices is both urgent and inspirational.There has been a welcome surge of nature writing in recent years. Yet this has raised questions as to whose voices are privileged and heard in a space predominantly occupied by Western European traditions and authors. In Nature Matters, poets Mona Arshi and Karen McCarthy Woolf seek to redress this imbalance. Their genreenriching anthology presents brandnew commissions alongside formative works from the past fifty years that invite us to reconsider nature poetry from globalmajority perspectives. Imagerich and formally diverse, the poems explore fundamental and ecological themes including climate crisis and the Anthropocene urban nature, solitude and alienation protest and radical empathy Indigenous wisdom and alternative histories.A vigorous and timely hymn to the universality of nature. Its amazing that Nature Matters hasnt existed until now.
