This transdisciplinary collection investigates relations of “living and learning with” as compelling forms of engagement and care between humans, nonhumans, and more-than-humans. Through academic and creative writings, contributors address the need for sustainable relationships between various feminist positions, focussing on Indigenous and Black knowledges, queer and trans artistic interventions, and anti-racist methodologies. They pursue crucial conversations on intersecting oppressions, intersubjectivities, voices, and positionalities. Rooted in feminist literary and artistic practices, the volume explores urgent ongoing transnational issues and will benefit scholars in literature, Indigenous studies, intercultural studies, and gender studies.

“This groundbreaking collection redefines feminist poetics, offering timely provocations and sophisticated insights. Engaging with critical university studies, Indigenous studies, trans studies, disability studies, and more, it explores ethical encounters and practices of care and reciprocity not just among humans, but beyond the human as well. The diverse yet thematically cohesive contributions highlight poetry’s role in addressing urgent cultural and political issues.” Sarah Dowling, University of Toronto

With essays arising from vigorous scholarly and artistic practices, the work will engage feminists, literary scholars, poets, activists, and scholars of gender and critical race theory.” Deanna Reder, Simon Fraser University
