Description:Life Writing in the Anthropocene is a collection of timely and original approaches to the question of what constitutes a life, how that life is narrated, and what lives matter in autobiography studies in the Anthropocene. This era is characterised by the geoengineering impact of humans, which is shaping the planet's biophysical systems through the combustion of fossil fuels, production of carbon, unprecedented population growth, and mass extinction, threatens the rights of humans and other-than-humans to just and sustainable lives.In exploring ways of representing life in the Anthropocene, this work articulates innovative literary forms such as ecobiography (the intertwining of a human subject with their environment), phytography (writing the lives of plants) and ethological poetics (the study of nonhuman poetic forms), providing scholars and writers with innovative tools to think and write about our strange new world. In particular, its recognition on plant life reminds us of how human lives are entwined with vegetal lives.
