At a time of accelerating planetary crisis, this bold and beautiful work asks: how do we reauthor what it means to be human? Drawing on the work of prominent figures such as Aldous Huxley, Donna Haraway, and Virginia Woolf, the book explores poetic prose as a radical mode of narrative therapy-one that rethinks our entanglement with the more-than-human world. Weaving together critical theory, literary analysis, and intimate personal writing, Dyer advocates for a planetary poetics that listens to the divergent, the sensitive, the artist. This is a call to write as if our lives-and the life of the planet-depend on it. Because they do. Reality, after all, is contagious.
