Uses language to gain new insights into the natural world.

Uses the natural world to gain new insights into language.

Questions the divisions between nature and culture, wilderness and civilization.

Interrupts the purely human narrative with non-human actors and speakers.

Includes digital consciousness in the experience of the physical world.

Investigates environmental injustice and how race, place, and space are all subject to policing.

Interrogates and/or repurposes clichés for the needs of today.

Elevates voices that were previously not often heard in this sub-genre.

Seeks to question instead of proclaim.

Is well written and deeply considered as well as feisty and brisk on occasion.
