Abstract
Blazing Star explores the healing modalities of plants and the liberatory possibilities of radical tenderness through a queer ecopoetics of care with and for the more-than-human world. The poems reimagine interspecies communication and nonhuman encounters through transcorporeal embodiments in thick time. Care blossoms into speculative permutations of the body and self through an exploration of trauma, healing, and the more-than-human relationships we are always already engaging in, visioning new possibilities for belonging, love and family.
