Natural Causes: The Nature Issue (Conjunctions Book 64)

Synopsis

New takes on nature by award-winning poets and writers, from Russell Banks to Lily Tuck and many more.   In Natural Causes, a provocative collection of radical reinventions of the genre of nature writing, we encounter shrimp farms and spoonbills, maize husks and Austrian woods, tarantulas and eels, multitudinous winds that pollinate or desiccate—nature in all its myriad forms, right down to photons, neutrons, neutrinos, and, yes, even Godzilla, the Sasquatch, and some of nature’s other fictive and folkloric monsters.
