Astroecology is a metadata-sensitive, collaborative entry rather than a book I would force into a neat single-author frame. Listed with Elizabeth Clark Wessel and Johannes J Helden, translated from Swedish by Kirkwood Adams, it belongs in this batch as a formally adventurous work from Sweden-adjacent poetic practice. Astroecology appears here as a collaborative swedish-language entry, and i would treat it as formally adventurous rather than force it into a clean single-author frame. The title invites a reader to think at two scales at once: planetary systems and living systems, stars and damage, the ecological imagination and whatever strange grammar a poem can invent for survival. I would describe it carefully, without pretending the spreadsheet gives every role cleanly. What matters is that the book opens a speculative field where lyric, science, and environmental attention can touch without becoming a lecture.
