In light of an increasing awareness of nonhuman intelligences, it explores new imaginaries by reconfiguring the human sensorium as a site of ecological entanglements. Drawing on ecocritical, Indigenous, and new materialist philosophies, it analyzes a diverse range of literary works by writers such as Leslie Marmon Silko, Toni Morrison, and Michael Ondaatje to reveal embodied sensory knowledge as a form of attunement to a living, breathing biosphere. It posits perception as an ecological, embodied phenomenon and radically rethinks dominant dualisms between nature and culture, matter and mind, and the human and the nonhuman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMirja \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eLobnik \u003c\/b\u003eis a literary scholar and poet.
