The Rendering - Anthony Cody - Bog

"In a series of experimental ecopoems, The Rendering confronts the history of the Dust Bowl and its residual impacts into our current climate crisis while acknowledging the complicities of capitalism. These poems grapple with questions of wholeness and annihilation in an Anthropocenic world where the fallout of settler colonialism continues to inflict environmental and cultural devastation. Anthony Cody encourages readers to participate in the radical act of refreshing and re-imagining the page, poem, collection, and the self, while intuiting what lies ahead should our climate continue on its current destructive trajectory. The Rendering asks: can wholeness, or a journey toward wholeness, exist in the Anthropocene? And, if wholeness cannot exist in the Anthropocene, then what of the living, once the living have "achieved" annihilation?"--
