This collection opens the geospatiality of “Asia” into an environmental framework called "Oceania" and pushes this complex regional multiplicity towards modes of trans-local solidarity, planetary consciousness, multi-sited decentering, and world belonging. At the transdisciplinary core of this “worlding” process lies the multiple spatial and temporal dynamics of an environmental eco-poetics, articulated via thinking and creating both with and beyond the Pacific and Asia imaginary.

“Crossing Asia and America, this remarkable volume brings together creative works and critical reflections by some of our edgiest writers and canniest scholars. Together, they do not just make an abstract argument for the idea of re-worlding – for reclaiming the world from top-down globalization — but also bring us that much closer to its concretization.”
—Colleen Lye, University of California at Berkeley, USA
“This collection usefully documents the intellectual psyche of the Covid era, waiting for the next one to move beyond itself, searching for the blessing and re-worlding of the earth and even the universe.”
