Ecopoetry

Poetry with an emphasis on the environment, ecology, ecosystems, empathy towards all living creatures, and providing a voice to nature and its natural processes. Global warming, climate change, and concern around lack of human urgency in the face of those things are frequent themes. Ecopoetry goes beyond nature poetry to include a sense of interconnectedness between humans and the environment and to protest against environmental injustices.
