Making Kin with Nonhmans

4 étoiles

This is the third book in the series Kinship. It is a series of essays and poems, this volume focussed on relationships betqeen human and nonhuman kin. Like the first two, it suffers from a white bias and a US-centric viewpoint in some of the essays, but mostly it contains some wonderful writing and is the best in the series so far.

Standout articles are by the always-brilliant Anne Galloway and her kinship with sheep, Merlin Sheldrake's thoughts on fungi and lichen, and Richard Powers' thoughtful considerations on the degrees of separation between us and other creatures (although that essay also contains one of the series' most damning howlers in reference to the Rwandan genocide). Great, broad essays and a worthwhile book.
