Description



About the Book



""No More Time" considers how humans, especially in the Western world, have seen ourselves as both a part of and apart from the natural environment. The long sequence "A Field Guide to People" offers a medieval-style alpha-bestiary of twenty-six sonnets, each a meditation on a species of flora or fauna that is thriving, endangered, or extinct. Evoking a kind of earthly heaven, purgatory, and hell for animals and plants, Greg Delanty stresses that the states of decline and disappearance evident throughout the natural world stem mainly from the actions of humans. These poems of the underworld function also as love poems to the creatures and plants, connecting the past with the present. Amid this sonnet sequence, Delanty places a series of epigrams, acrostics, and concrete poems addressing the subject of global warming with a balance of pathos and wit. Where the twentieth century began with the portrayal of human plight as living in a fragmented world, separate from each other and all around, "No More Time" shows that the early decades of the twenty-first find the world deeply connected and at risk"--



Book Synopsis



In No More Time, Greg Delanty offers a celebration of the natural environment that also bemoans its mistreatment at the hands of humans. The collection's long sequence, "A Field Guide to People," is an alpha-bestiary of twenty-six sonnets, each a meditation on a species of flora or fauna that is thriving, endangered, or extinct. Evoking an earthly heaven, purgatory, and hell for plants and animals, these poems function also as love letters to the biosphere as they connect the past with the present in both form and content. In the middle of this sonnet sequence, a section labeled "Breaking News" gives voice in poetry to the political state of our planet with a balance of pathos, wit, and hope.

Delanty stresses the deep underlying connections within and between the natural world and humankind, rather than the fragmented world stressed at the beginning of the twentieth century. No More Time witnesses the effects of climate change and presents a vital view of what remains at stake for engaged global citizens in the twenty-first century.
