ASLE Ecocriticism Book Award, Association for the Study of Literature and Environment, 2015. "This lively study engages with and extends important emerging themes in queer theory and ecocriticism. Engagingly written and intricately argued, Strange Natures demonstrates an exemplary practice of queer ecological reading."
Catriona Sandilands, professor, faculty of environmental studies, York University, Toronto "Seymour specifically sets the queer ecology
which ... Read moreis a developing field, not an established one
apart from certain historical aspects of queer theory.  The compelling case studies extend "new queer cinema" aesthetics toward environmental politics and consider queer theory's links to nonhuman life and the problematic term "nature."  Highly recommended."
Choice "Strange Natures demonstrates the ongoing vitality of queer ecology. . . . Inspiring criticism."
Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment "A groundbreaking book, one that carefully traces the barriers to such work (namely, queer theory's vexed relationship to 'nature' and the two fields' ostensibly conflicting relationships to the status of futurity) in order to develop a queer ecocritical practice that engages, rather than resists, such difficulty… Seymour's text limns the contours of the possible, demonstrating how a queer ecological politics intersects with, emerges from, and necessitates engagement with other pressing projects of our time."
