The grim reality: Amanda Anastasi Launches Poetry for the Planet: An Anthology of Imagined Futures edited by Julia Kaylock & Denise O’Hagan.
We write – we have always written – as a species who have over centuries aimed to elevate ourselves over nature. We write about our planet now with a renewed consciousness. However, the eye and the hand that is capturing it also has a hand in destroying it. Each one of us – some in very small and some in large ways, some knowing and unknowing, some thinking and unthinking – are contributing to it.
