Hello ecofemmers!
I am currently writing my senior thesis on "ecofeminism, revolution, and
poetry." i'm going to be talking about why I believe poetry is essential
to ecofeminism's vision of real revolution and discussing some poets that
consider issues of social change and poetry, and i was wondering what
everyone here thinks about these topics. I have a LOT of ideas and a lot
of poets i want to look at (right now I'm obsessed with Adrienne
Rich), and _Ecofeminist Literary Criticism_, ed. by the fantastic Greta
Gaard and Patrick Murphy, has been a teriffic resource, in case anyone's
interested.
So, please write to me with your ideas on:
-how poetry fits in with ecofeminism
-poets you think i should cover
-connections in general between social change and poetry
-if you think poetry has no place in ecofeminism
-anything else you feel like saying.
thanks so much!
