Some of Us May Live - Paperback
Description
by Leigh Kotsilidis (Author)
Poems that provoke science as a way to explain the world
In Some of Us May Live, scientific explanation is not reductive but an opportunity for empathy and delight, a shift of perspective that redefines the boundary between the personal and the general. These poems intervene into the ideas of the natural world through interrogations and interpretations of humanity as planetary force of change.
At times conflating the reader's existence with animals, boulders, glaciers, oceans, black holes, Kotsilidis reveals a multitude of shifting perspectives. If the Anthropocene is a fable. If its plot is the raft of facts that underpin cosmic theory and climate change, evolution and zoology. If Wolf, Fox, and Bear bring us closer to understanding the stakes of our collective struggle against world devastation...well, then, some of us may live. The poems in Kotsilidis's second collection dust off everyday experiences to reveal the gleam of cause and effect.
In this fragile moment, Some of Us May Live is both the call and the response.
