Ecozoa Zusammenfassung

Ecozoa Helen Moore

This is a collection of ecopoetry from award-winning poet Helen Moore. Inspired by William Blake's unfinished book The Four Zoas which explored the power of the imagination to address the ecological crises we face. Every chapter has been revised and two new chapters on firewood and diseases has been added. Ecopoetry is new poetry for a new age of awareness and Helen Moore is a leading light in this probing, ground breaking genre. In William Blake's unfinished book 'The Four Zoas', mythology points to the power of the imagination to address the ecological crisis we face. Moore contemporises this vision, showing how rebalancing 'four zoas' can enable us to connect with the heart, and get to the root of our problems. In this way, fear and limited thinking can fall away, opening up liminal spaces where our love of freedom can flourish and collectively we can sense the evolving futures we most desire. As Berry reminds us, the Ecozoic Era is a phenomenon 'we must will into being'.

Ecozoa Bewertungen

In her Blake-vision for the planet, Helen Moore intones, invokes, implores and damns. Ecozoa is a summoning-up of all animals, plants, rocks and soil, to have their say as humans dissolve the planet, as the State rides roughshod over the rights of humans and environment. Moore's is an assertive plea for the earth to reclaim its intactness, its wholeness in the face of human destruction, human abuse. But it's also calling across time to our human ancestors, a gathering of the human condition, a roll-call of all those who have suffered and need to be given voice accounting for the costs of human using human for personal and collective gain. This is nothing less than a declaration of nature's independence, a manifesto for human engagement that is inclusive, respectful and aware of the impact all of us make in our day-to-day lives on the earth's living body. It is passionate and compassionate, angry but also speaking from within the condition, the crisis. There's also a vital ecofeminism here that takes responsibility, and realigns the Goddess as a force for addressing the monopolising of all religions by the tools of military-industrial violence. And all of this cased in prophetic utterances underpinned by gritty realism blending invocation and reportage. In Moore is a feminist-Ginsberg-channelling-Blake a voice we need, a voice that will not be silenced by vested interests. This is science as justice, poetry as action. Though deeply crafted, these poems are no mere ornaments for our consumption. And there's a terrible beauty in all of this that needs to be understood as an affirmation of all existence. If the poems hold to account, the book offers us a means of healing it is a milestone in the journey of ecopoetics.
