Product Description
by Ian Ramsey (Author)
Traveling from the Peruvian Amazon to Beijing, from the Siberian tundra to Oaxacan villages, Ian Ramsey's Hackable Animal explores the metaphysical dimensions of being human amongst the disruptions of the 21st century. This profound collection reads like a scouting report from across the planet, where polar bears, reggaeton, and woolly mammoths collide with cloud computing and wildfires, where assumptions and alignments are turned upside down until we finally emerge, ready to "rummage a new credo."
These fierce poems, grounded in ecology, deep time, and paleolithic heritage, lean into the "strafing ultimatums" of rapidly changing climate, globalization, and technology, asking how we might "chase beauty in the newsfeed of tragedy" and reimagine our relationship to the Earth.
