“This collection fills an important gap and helps to reorient the debate about the climate crisis by underlining the fast and slow violence of structural poverty as well as catastrophic weather. Offering thought-provoking analyses of contemporary writers such as Lauren Groff, Octavia Butler, and Barbara Kingsolver, the contributors demonstrate that the cultural debate on the Anthropocene and on climate justice needs to include an ecopoverty lens and they further explain how climate narratives can help us to articulate new environmentalisms of the poor and of the eroding middle class. A timely, original, and valuable contribution.” - Ben De Bruyn, UCLouvain, author of The Novel and the Multispecies Soundscape
