Introduction to Ecopoetry

Hello Everyone,

This week harkens our step into the boundaries of Eco-poetics! Cheers to you for being awesome participants and making it half-way through the workshop :). This post covers an introduction to Eco poetry, and what we will be considering this upcoming Monday. We can go over the presentation and other variables that really make Eco poetry what it is. I listed a challenge down at the bottom of this post, but feel free to look through the writing prompt link and the ones I've recently posted for inspiration.

What is Eco poetry?
Eco-poetry can inspire a broad awareness for our environment by presenting different ecological perspectives. Eco-poetry is often marked by an appreciation for nature as self-regulating cyclic systems, separate from nature and environmental poetry. Eco-poetry is clear and somewhat minimalist; rather than experimenting with visual and textual design, eco-poets dedicate their efforts to the aesthetic flow of their work by creating a fluid message through organized stanzas.
