These Birds of Temptation

34,00 €

When we first began planning this volume back in 2013, we couldn’t have anticipated that it would become a collection so deeply concerned with extinction. Looking at it now, in the 2020s, this focus makes perfect sense. The diverse contributions in These Birds of Temptation interrogate the role of art and poetry in times of ecological collapse and reflect on how birds play a crucial role in our understanding of the world and the earth. Birds are not treated as passive objects but as multi-dimensional beings with inherited and unfolding “life ways,” a concept introduced by environmental philosopher and fellow bird friend, Thom van Dooren.
