Zoopoetics means the making of animals. Derrida’s experience of being caught, naked, in the gaze of the cat, which he expounded in The Animal That Therefore I Am, was the beginning of philosophical thinking about animal others, and it overthrew the traditional Western philosophy of logos-centrism and anthropocentrism. Zoopoetics takes both human and nonhuman animals to be not only the objects but also agents of representation, and its central tenet is that nonhuman animals are makers and that they have agency in that making. Therefore, in the poetic discourse of zoopoetics, animals no longer function as symbols or analogy but have their own poetic functions as makers. In zoopoetics, texts, bodies, and entanglement are central terms. Zoopoetics is intertwined with the relationship between animals and poetic language, and it is about entanglements of body and text. Heidegger’s “zwischen(between)”and Derrida’s “limitrophy” are the keys to untangle the entanglements. In Whitman’s animal poems, “A Noiseless Patient Spider,” “My Canary Bird,” and “The Dalliance of the Eagles,” the gestures of animals are the original power for making, and they become the texts by encounters and entanglements with the poets. As Whitman’s poems are barbaric yawp in the wilderness, the animal’s gestures and its making are an unheard yawp.
