Many genres, including the picture book, are considered in asking for what purposes 'animal poetry' is composed and what function it serves. Critically contextualising anthropomorphism in traditional and contemporary poetic and theoretical discourses, these pages explore the representation of animals through anthropomorphism, anthropocentrism, and through affective responses to other-than-human others. Zoomorphism - the routine flipside of anthropomorphism - is crucially involved in the critical unmasking of the taken-for-granted textual strategies dealt with here. With a focus on the ethics entailed in poetic relations between children and animals, and between humans and nonhumans, this book asks important questions about the Anthropocene future and the role in it of literature intended for children. \u003ci\u003ePoetics and Ethics of Anthropomorphism: Children, Animals, and Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital resource for students and for scholars in children's literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher (Kit) Kelen\u003c\/strong\u003e is a poet and painter, resident in the Myall Lakes of NSW.
