"Everybody lives here with me" - Nonhumans in D M Gordon Ecopoetry
We sat down with eco poet D. M. Gordon to discuss her new poetry collection Loosestrife for Porcupines! Full of capybaras, horses, porcupines, and countless other nonhuman beings, the poetry collection reflects the verdant area in which Gordon lives, where she is surrounded by "everybody." We are happy to have a poet on after a long stretch of academic (though still wonderful!) texts, putting into practice the same fiction/poetic/academic mesh that the ISLE journal implements.

Fantastik Italian: Italian/Americans in Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction
We sat down with the co-editors and one contributor to a new collection: Italian/American Fantastika: Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction from Pinocchio to Star Trek. The text looks at how Italian-Americans and also Italian-Canadians have contributed to some of the most notorious speculative stories in horror, fantasy, and science fiction in ways previously overlooked. The Ecofeminist Fantastika section and the Italian-Canadian history as non-indigenous other interacting with indigenous and settler groups will be of particular interest for our listeners!
