In this course, we will learn what it means to write fluidly about oceans and rivers, to write beautifully about mulch, to think creatively about jellyfish, to center the climate catastrophe in verse. Considering the human animal in the fight with and for each other and the Earth, we will explore how the environmental justice movement has been shaped and described by the social justice movement and recent poetic innovations. Through careful reading, critical and creative responses, and both synchronous and asynchronous discussion, we will investigate the changing ways that contemporary environmental poets engage with the greater-than-human world.
