Abstract

ABSTRACT The gravity of the climate crisis, the damage attributable to the actions of humankind and the need for urgent action to avert catastrophe are all well established. Despite knowing these scientific facts, we continue to act as if we are not fully awake to the reality of the threat to all life on earth. In this piece of literary criticism, I will look at some of Jori Graham's poetry to explore how poetic transformation of the facts about the climate crisis could contribute to our awakening to what is at stake and how her work could facilitate conversation between us about the psychological impacts that we experience. I will also refer briefly to Denise Levertov's writing on the concept of irremediable damage to the earth.

“感觉有些东西不会回来了”：气候危机：对利害关系的诗意觉醒

摘要气候危机的严重性、人类行为造成的损害以及采取紧急行动避免灾难的必要性都是众所周知的。尽管我们知道这些科学事实，但我们仍然表现得好像我们没有完全意识到地球上所有生命受到威胁的现实。在这篇文学批评文章中，我将阅读乔里·格雷厄姆的一些诗歌，探讨对气候危机事实的诗意转变如何有助于我们意识到利害关系，以及她的作品如何促进我们之间关于我们所经历的心理影响的对话。我还将简要提及Denise Levertov关于对地球造成不可挽回的损害这一概念的著作。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
