Ecotones

Ecotones, in the ecological sense, are places in which distinct natural environments and habitats meet and converge. Ecotones the book contains bits and fragments of a life and its death, of perception and blindness, durability and ephemera, poetry and prose, fiction, search engine text and samples from Internet cites—confetti-briefness drifting, zeros and ones in time’s test-tube. The fragments converge and converse on the habitat of the page. They call and respond to one another. By placing our human and ecological conditions side by side in this way Ecotones shows that the environment’s responses to stress and our own are very much the same and that there is, ultimately, no separation or distinction between us that will matter.
