This volume completes John Kinsella' s trilogy of critical activist poetics, begun two decades ago. It challenges familiar topoi and normatives of poetic activity as it pertains to environmental, humanitarian and textual activism in ' the world-at-large' : it shows how ambiguity can be a generative force when it works from a basis of non-ambiguity of purpose. The book shows how there is a clear unambiguous position to have regarding issues of justice, but that from that confirmed point ambiguity can be an intense and useful activist tool. The book is an essential resource for those wishing to study Kinsella, and for those with an interest in twentieth and twenty-first-century poetry and poetics, and it will stand as an inspiring proclamation of the author' s faith in the transformative power of poetry and literary activity as a force for good in the world.
John Kinsella is a Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge University, and Emeritus Professor of Literature and Environment at Curtin University
