The Allure of Elsewhere
"A truly fascinating and heartwarming travelogue that beautifully points us in bold directions."--Aimee Nezhukumatathil, author of World of WondersOne woman's cross-country journey to explore the hold family history has on our lives, and the power of new stories to shape what lies ahead. In her mid-thirties and, happily single if also tied closely to a family that has long thought of her as their historian, Karen Babine hitches up her tiny Scamp camper and sets out with her two unenthusiastic cats, Galway and Maeve, on a journey from her home in Minnesota to Nova Scotia, to find explore the place where her French-Acadian ancestors settled in North America some four centuries ago.As the miles roll by, she wonders: "Why do we carry this need to belong to an established history? What happens when that can't--or shouldn't--happen?" The road reveals more questions than answers about her history, identity, and belonging, about the responsibilities of stories and silence, about her life choices as a solo woman, where she is in life and what it means to be driven by both a strong sense of kinship to a very close-knit family and attachment to home on one hand, and a deep desire for independence on the other. Capturing the joy, freedom, and powerful pull of the open road, The Allure of Elsewhere is about the stories we're told, the stories we tell, and the way those stories make us who we are, often in surprising ways. Intimate, curious, and candid, written with wry wit and warmth, this is a courageous and inspiring memoir.

Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop, Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill, and Charles Wright--but they also examine Hopkins's substantial influence among Caribbean poets, Appalachian writers, and contemporary poets whose work lies at the intersection of ecopoetry and theology. Combining essays by the world's leading Hopkins scholars with essays by scholars from diverse fields, the essays examine both known and unexpected affinities, and The Fire that Breaks is a persistent testimony to the lasting, continuing impact of Hopkins on poetry in English.

Empowering Black Women through Female Solidarity in Selected Black Female Narratives
Re-thinking Posthumanism across the Global South
Scholarly attention to the concept of the posthuman has increased recently in response to pressing problems about what it means to be human and what distinguishes the human from the nonhuman. The ongoing ecological catastrophes, recent technological breakthroughs, and the desire to address in new ways issues involving race, gender, and environment has further intensified this engagement. In the light of this, we hope that this book will serve as a forum for discussing how the concept of the posthuman may have altered our interactions with the natural world, and with one another, for delving into how we may have always been entwined with the nonhuman others, and finally, for speculating, how the posthuman may have repercussions beyond the academy.
