Dr. Robert Lapp
Winter 2020, M 2:30-5:20
ENGL 4231A Ecopoetics is the theory and practice of creating literary art that responds to an endangered environment. This course briefly examines the roots of ecopoetics in 18thcentury Romanticism and 19thcentury Nature-Writing before focusing on its rapid proliferation in the present moment under the pressure of unfolding ecological disaster. Selected theoretical perspectives (including Romantic Ecology, Ecofeminism, and Ecological Justice), along with a provisional taxonomy of ecopoetical genres, will help navigate a range of examples, many of which will be selected and introduced by members of the class. An important aim of the course will be to develop potentially publishable interventions in public discourse---whether as essays or original ecopoetry---in order to directly apply the values of responsible research and informed creativity to the crisis at hand. If you have questions about the course or would like to enroll, contact Dr. Robert Lapp at rlapp@mta.ca
