This webinar draws from the poems read at Tuesday’s Poetry Performance event as well as other poems from antiquity to contemporary, including spoken word. It will consider:
- Eco-poetry – poetry that illustrates the sense of selfhood as worldliness
- Articulation of place perception
- Geographical imaginations and human feelings
- Human and non-human interdependency
- Invocation/invitation of others (human) into accounts of the environment
- Articulation of hope
