Thursday February 19, 2026
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

This new course will offer an in-depth look at the work of major American figures in ecopoetry, from the seminal forerunners of the late twentieth century to experimental and cutting-edge voices of the twenty-first. This format will allow us to spend time reading and discussing multiple poems by individual poets, including Gary Snyder, A.R. Ammons, Brenda Hillman, Forrest Gander, Evelyn Reilly, Jorie Graham, and more. We will follow along as they attempt to establish a new paradigm for our human relationship to the natural world while responding to an ever-heightening sense of crisis. We will be reading now-classic ecopoems as well as up-to-the-minute work.
