'This essay considers how Final Theory (2014) by Australian poet Bonny Cassidy and Gentlewomen (2020) by American poet Megan Kaminski extend our understanding of lyric subjectivity and provide insights into the intersections between ecofeminism and new materialism. in bringing these two contemporary poets alongside one another, I hope to draw attention to trans-Pacific intersections in feminist ecopoetics. Cassidy and Kaminski may practise different poetics, but both encompass inclusive ways of being within the more-than-human world and both find ways to critique, extend or embrace lyricism, demonstrating lyric as a highly flexible medium.'
