In this time of ecological precarity, \u003ci\u003eRag Cosmology\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent invitation to reinvent our modes engagement with the environment we not only inhabit, but are. Refusing the lamentation that leaves us as resigned witnesses to devastation, \u003ci\u003eRag Cosmology\u003c\/i\u003e counters fatalist narratives with the pleasures of ecological entanglement and engagement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTracing relationships between seemingly irreconcilable things--economy and ecology, weather and lust, bills and inner voices, wages of avoidance and wages of listening--\u003ci\u003eRag Cosmology\u003c\/i\u003e offers the intimate and lush language of thought that yearns for an imaginative reinvention of how we understand what we are part of and what we are losing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eRag Cosmology\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Have you ever had the feeling of being spoken by a branch, a dress, a late slant of light? Then open this book for deeper information about how sensing and moving among the world's elements is a cosmic work of images, where touching is a kind of seeing, and thinking is a kind of kissing. For Erin Robinsong, being in language together is a chosen act of joy, a refusal of the imposed debt and dross of the bankers. These poems walk into largesse.\" --Lisa Robertson \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eRag Cosmology\u003c\/i\u003e is spellbinding.
