Contemporary Poetry Celebrating Nature

Description

Apart from Mary Oliver, our country has had, in recent decades, many talented nature poets, including Arthur Sze, our current U.S. Poet Laureate. Wendell Berry, Scott Momaday and W.S. Merwin are also known for their inspiring nature poetry as well as their dedication to our environment. Together we’ll read and share our personal responses to several dozen of their poems, which will be provided to students in pdf format.
