The poems open into a broader consideration of overlapping and interrelated systems, from the confines of received knowledge to the closed circuit of ideology to the circularity of pollutive environmental cycles. Attentive to the levels of sound and of visual architecture, these poems highlight both destruction and unseen possibilities. By turns meditative and probing, and sometimes slyly funny, \u003ci\u003eExtinction Song\u003c\/i\u003e unwinds the perils and the joys of our precarious climate future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1961209551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781961209558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tupelo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"John James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48137213772031,"sku":"9781961209558","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b95ed066-825a-4129-9e1f-7c4fca01a673.jpg?v=1770167324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/extinction-song-john-james-9781961209558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
