Highlights

Digital Preservation: The Open Library of Humanities and all its journals are digitally preserved in the CLOCKSS scholarly archive service
Casting a reflection of the world is impossible because poems themselves are caught up in what Solnick, Cooper: Review of Sam Solnick, Poetry and the Anthropocene through Mahon, calls a ‘chaos of complex systems’ (3)
The wonderful flourish of Poetry and the Anthropocene is that the book itself benefits from such slow re-readings, as generative connections blossom backwards and forwards through the chapters
