Anand's ecologist poetics are sophisticated and original; her voice is an \"index,\" a way of cataloguing and measuring the world and human experience, and of illuminating the interconnectedness at the heart of all things. Narrating the beauty of her perceived world, the poems unabashedly embrace the scintillant language of scientific evidence as they interrogate crises of personal and global concern. The result is a poetry that is as complex as it is compassionate. Anand's modernist intervention into \"nature\" poetry is a sparkling addition to poetics in Canada and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780771006982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Madhur Anand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43643971731637,"sku":"9780771006982","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5d8669b2-18ed-4774-87e5-c49eb2e54d0d.jpg?v=1708445373","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-new-index-for-predicting-catastrophes-9780771006982","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
