The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics offers comprehensive coverage of the vital and growing movement of ecopoetics. This volume begins with a general introduction to the field, followed by six sections:

  • Perspectives: broad overviews engaging fields such as biosemiosis, kinship praxis, and philosophical approaches
  • Experiments: formal innovations developed by poets in response to planetary crises
  • Earth and Water: explorations of poetic entanglement with planetary chemical and biological systems
  • Waste/Toxicity/Precarity: poetics addressing the effects of pollution and climate change
  • Environmental Justice and Activism: examinations of poetry as an engine of political and cultural change
  • Region and Place: an international array of traditional and contemporary geographically focused responses to ecosystems and environmental conditions; and
  • Subjectivities/Affects/Sexualities: investigations of gender, ethnicity, and race as they intersect with ecological concerns
  • Each section includes an overview and summary addressing the specific essays in the section. These previously unpublished essays represent a wide variety of nationalities, backgrounds, perspectives, and critical approaches exploring the interdisciplinary field of ecopoetics. Contributions from leading scholars working across the globe make The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics a landmark textbook and reference for a variety of researchers and students.
