216 Gallagher’s artful poem “As a Diamond,” one may well balk at the coalfi red poetics of her “hearth where blackest coal / noiselessly witnesses two wordsmiths” (329). Th e fi gure (coaldiamond, lifepoem) is apt but oblivious. Going forward, environmentally woke poets will need to imagine coal diff erently or leave it in the ground. Th inking Continental has the inevitable Mercator enlargements and distortions of such a project (a wealth of native and Irish poets and essayists; a scarcity of urban cartographers). But with its novel conjunction of scientists and artists, this collection is not only a groundbreaking but also a wavemaking model of collaborative mapping.

心留在国家：加里·兰茨（Gary Lantz）的南弗林特山的冥想

216 加拉格尔巧妙的诗篇“作为钻石”，人们可能会对她的“最黑的煤炉/无声地见证两个文字匠的炉膛”（329）的煤火红色诗意感到犹豫。这个数字（煤钻石，生命之诗）很贴切，但却很容易被忽视。展望未来，环境觉醒的诗人需要以不同的方式想象煤炭或将其留在地下。《Thinking Continental》不可避免地会对这样的项目进行墨卡托放大和扭曲（大量本土和爱尔兰诗人和散文家；城市制图师的稀缺）。但凭借科学家和艺术家的新颖结合，该系列不仅是开创性的，而且是协作制图的波浪式模型。John Shoptaw 加州大学伯克利分校
