Description:
Over the past thirty year many poets have exhibited an increasing sensitivity to ecological thinking. But critics trained in poststructural language theory often fail to explore the substance of ecopoetry.
Expand description
Leonard Scigaj is the first to define ecopoetry -- marked by its appreciation of nature as a series of self-regulating cyclic systems -- as separate and distinct from nature or environmental poetry. Ecopoetry insists that the interests of humans must be balanced with the needs of nature.
In focusing on the work of America's foremost ecopoets, A.R. Ammons, Wendell Berry, W.S. Merwin, and Gary Snyder, Scigaj demonstrates how phenomenology is a more useful analytical tool than language theory in understanding ecopoetry.
