RSS Feed How do we think about planet Earth? What's our relationship with it? Humans since the Enlightenment have been tempted to believe we've transformed and even - perhaps - tamed it. And yet, Earth is independent of us, and indifferent. In this episode, Jacke talks to Kir Kuiken, whose book Adrift on the Earth: Caribbean Romanticism and Geopoetics uses pairings of Caribbean and Romantic-era authors to deepen our understanding of how we've related to the Earth from the Romantic era through our own. PLUS Jonathan Gross (The European Byron: Mobility, Cosmopolitanism, and Chameleon Poetry) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.
