PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Michael w. Derby is a teacher, a researcher and occasionally a poet. He works with the Imaginative Education Research Group at Simon Fraser University. His research explores ecocritical pedagogies that inspire caring relationships with the more-than-human world. He also likes long walks in the forest.
Place, Being, Resonance reminds me of David Abram's astonishing phenomenological breakthroughs in The Spell of the Sensuous. Yet Michael W. Derby's prose is edgier, and his form reaches for and achieves a strikingly satisfying blend of poetry and philosophy. This book woke me up. It makes us remember parts of our wholeness and connection to the world that we are always in danger of losing. The ecopedagogy movement needs poets. Derby's fresh vision rekindles my hope for an environmental education that brings us closer to our experience of the world as we work to transform it by being fully awake in it, as it. (David Greenwood, Canada Research Chair in Environmental Education, Lakehead University) How to teach in ways that honor life? This is the pressing educational question of the twenty-first century, one that goes to the heart of what it means to teach, and live, in an age of ecological (and therefore intellectual and spiritual) crisis. In this brilliant, unsettling, questing book, Michael W. Derby invites us to follow the mycelial threads of ecopoetics and ecohermeneutics as they begin to dissolve the crystalline orthodoxies of the modern imagination.
