A culturally diverse collection entering a field where nature poetry anthologies have historically lacked diversity, this book presents a rich terrain of contemporary environmental poetry with roots in many cultural traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEco-justice poetry is poetry born of deep cultural attachment to the land and poetry born of crisis. Aligned with environmental justice activism and thought, eco-justice poetry defines environment as \"the place we work, live, play, and worship.\" This is a shift from romantic notions of nature as a pristine wilderness outside ourselves toward recognition of the environment as home: a source of life, health, and livelihood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGhost Fishing\u003c\/em\u003e is arranged by topic at key intersections between social justice and the environment such as exile, migration and dispossession; war; food production; human relations to the animal world; natural resources and extraction; environmental disaster; and cultural resilience and resistance. This anthology seeks to expand our consciousness about the interrelated nature of our experiences and act as a starting point for conversation about the current state of our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributors Include: \u003c\/strong\u003e Zein El-Amine, Camille T.
