THE ANTHROPOZINE

For us, truly, there are no “surroundings.”

I can lose my hands and still live.

I can lose my legs and still live.

I can lose my eyes and still live. . . .

But if I lose the air I die.

If I lose the sun I die [...]

If I lose the plants and animals I die.

All of these things are more a part of me,

more essential to my every breath, than is

my so-called body. What is my real body?

-Jack D. Forbes, Powhatan-Renapé and Lenape writer
