Ecoshock - Pocket Aftershock - Edited by Glyn Edwards
What does it mean to love a living world while the systems around us unmake it?
The third Pocket Aftershock from The Aftershock Review, Ecoshock is edited by Glyn Edwards and gathers poems from the hot, flooded, flickering edge of the climate crisis.
These poems move through heat maps, flood lines, city lights, melting ice, plastic dolls, mould, supermarkets, an interactive cadaver exhibit and the strange guilt of carrying on while the world burns.
Featuring new poetry by Imtiaz Dharker, Glyn Maxwell, Di Slaney, Sophia Argyris, Lauren Thomas, Dave Simmons, Dr Anna Percy, Alec Finlay, Cath Drake, Aruna Stannard, Max Wallis, Matthew Haigh, Matthew Stewart, Clare Shaw, Suzannah V. Evans, Dean Atta, Harriet Tarlo, Rachael Clyne, Michelle Penn, Punyasloka Mohapatra, Pascale Petit, Zoe Brigley, Callan Waldron-Hall, Jeff Skinner, Corina Board, Sam Grudgings, Lydia Unsworth, Glyn Edwards, Abigail Parry and Sean Borodale.
It is poetry in the aftermath of warning: political, tender, furious, funny, grieving, alive.
