Inhaltsangabe

What does the world we live in mean to us? More, when we bring it to mind, than just a platform for our daily living. Where we live is intricate, intimate, deep-time entangled and never, from the microbes of our guts to the minerals of the moon, only to do with humans. The poems of [re]turn are besotted not by the who but the inclusive where of what it is to be alive. Snout beetle, rain drop, these phone-cradling humans, the humpback whales, all of it, even AI, pours through these poems for the Earth we currently have. The world is not a stage. And perhaps, if we are lucky, there are ways to (re)turn to a being and becoming that is consciously, encompassingly, a part of it. In her third volume, Tasmanian-based poet Kristen Lang, explores the ancientness of the landscape she lives within.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kristen Lang, formerly Sharpless, is a passionate advocate for the empowerment of blind and low-vision children. As a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist and Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist, Kristen's dedication to her work with individuals who are blind and low-vision led her to recognize the scarcity of relatable children's books in this field. Driven by a desire to make topics like white canes and orientation and mobility skills inviting and educational, Kristen created The Cane Kids: Everett and Willow's Journey in Navigating Legal Blindness. Inspired by a "White Cane Awareness Day" activity, this book aims to fill the gap in children's literature and enlighten the general public about legal blindness. Kristen Lang's books serve not only as a source of inspiration for blind and low-vision children but also as a valuable learning experience for sighted readers. Her heartfelt wish is that readers, both young and old, approach life's challenges with determination, overcome obstacles, and celebrate their achievements.
