We sat down with eco poet D. M. Gordon to discuss her new poetry collection Loosestrife for Porcupines! Full of capybaras, horses, porcupines, and countless other nonhuman beings, the poetry collection reflects the verdant area in which Gordon lives, where she is surrounded by "everybody." We are happy to have a poet on after a long stretch of academic (though still wonderful!) texts, putting into practice the same fiction/poetic/academic mesh that the ISLE journal implements.
