Abstract:

Belonging to no single school or camp, ecopoetics is expansive in its reach, the discipline composing a theoretical diversity that has resulted in a process of engagement with the natural world. It is a sense of between that seems to be the essential tone of ecopoetics; the edges between disciplines, between ecology and poetry, the boundaries between ecosystems and habitats—areas of tension where the edge of science and art, of poetic innovation and ecological thinking, meet. Central to ecopoetics’ address of the between is an intense awareness of location, a writing practice that enables consideration of emplacement, of ‘being located.’ The poetic projects investigated in this thesis, “Mary Oliver’s Nature Walk” and “Ed Roberson’s Serial Practice” form a conversation, one which my own creative work, “Niceville,” attempts to respond, in a movement towards articulating humankind’s relationship to nature.
