A Woodland Lexicon

A Woodland Lexicon explores apocalyptic contact with the natural world, and the moral properties of machines, combining urgent concern for ecological reform with Christian hope to produce a compelling artistic critique of the posthumanist eschatologies of the late-industrial west.

"A density of language combined with moral clarity; English landscapes at once troubled by violence and redeemed by their raw beauty; and, always, the sense of prayer that moves both within and beyond logic: such is Travis Wright's début volume, A Woodland Lexicon. Its appearance is a moment to celebrate." Kevin Hart, Duke University
