A book about what it means to care during dark times, for readers of Jenny Odell and Deborah Levy.
In these lyric interrogations of boredom, aging, and
magical thinking, acclaimed essayist Erin Wunker doomscrolls
disasters, embraces style as survival, and juxtaposes slow-moving
childhood summers with the contradictory experiences of
quotidian caregiving and intense love for her child. Artful, tender,
and true, these essays articulate the anxieties and hopes that come
with being alive in a hyper-mediated, ever-demanding world.
Erin Wunker teaches, researches, and writes in Mi'kma'ki where she is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at Dalhousie University. She is the author of Notes from a Feminist Killjoy: Essays on Everyday Life (Book*hug, 2016) and The Routledge Introduction to 20th and 21st Century Canadian Poetry (Routledge, 2022). She is also the co-editor of Avant Desire: A Nicole Brossard Reader (Coach House, 2020), with Sina Queyras and Geneviéve Robichaud; Public Poetics: Critical Issues in Contemporary Canadian Poetry and Poetics (Wilfrid Laurier UP, 2015), with Bart Vautour, Travis Mason, and Christl Verduyn; and Refuse: CanLit in Ruins (Book*hug, 2018), with Hannah McGregor and Julie Rak. Wunker lived in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and now resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
