Packing Death in Australian Literature: Ecocides and Eco-Sides explores Australian literature from various ecocritical, animal studies, plant studies, indigenous studies, and posthumanist critical perspectives. The book's primary objective is twofold: to draw greater attention to environmental, vegetal, and animal rights issues, both past and present, within the realm of literary studies. Literary studies in Australia have yet to demonstrate a sufficient level of interest or engagement in critical discussions concerning Australia's oldest extant environments and other nonhuman beings.

Packing Death in Australian Literature: Ecocides and Eco-Sides emphasizes the vegetal and nonhuman animal populations and contours of Australian literature. The critical studies relied upon in this book include works by authors such as CA. Cranston, Robert Zeller, Simon C. Estok, Bill Gammage, Timothy Morton, Bruce Pascoe, Val Plumwood, Kate Rigby, John Ryan, Wendy Wheeler, and Cary Wolfe.

The selected literary texts encompass works by authors like Merlinda Bobis, Eric Yoshiaki Dando, Nugi Garimara, Francesca Rendle-Short, Patrick White, and Evie Wyld.
