The Literary Language of Nature: Ecopoetry with Winifred Hughes Spar
What is happening to nature writing under the inescapable pressures of climate change and environmental crisis? In this course, we will explore our evolving human relationship with the natural world through the eyes of contemporary poets. Discover eco-poetry and eco-criticism, tracing the movement from mid-20th century awakenings to current issues of environmental justice, biocentrism, and “the end of nature.” Each week we will read and discuss selections from the work of such authors as Gary Snyder, Joy Harjo, Camille Dungy, Tommy Pico, and more.
