“A Planetary Lens demonstrates a new reading strategy that will serve us well as we consider the deep and ongoing effects of patriarchy and colonization on the way women and others produce creative texts and understand place. . . . Goodman’s beautiful book reveals how re-storying colonized spaces is crucial for bodies and land.”—Gioia Woods, editor of Left in the West: Literature, Culture, and Progressive Politics in the American West
“A Planetary Lens advances several important scholarly conversations including environmental justice, feminist critical regionalism, local and global Indigenous studies, western American literary studies, and material ecocriticism. Goodman’s elegantly written study draws together texts from a broad array of perspectives to interrogate how artists combine image and written texts in ways that revise and reorient conceptions of region, self, and storytelling. . . . Lucid and persuasive.”—Amy T. Hamilton, author of Peregrinations: Walking in American Literature
