What makes a &ldquo\;nature poem&rdquo\; r esonate beyond solely environmental themes? This workshop will delve into the ways that poets invoke the physical world to investigate social\, poli tical\, and emotional landscapes\, particularly in the American West. The workshop will survey work from poets such as Erin Block\, Camille Dungy\, Velimir Khlebnikov\, Carl Phillips\, Joe Wilkins\, and others\, as well as engage in generative exercises that push &ldquo\;eco-writing&rdquo\; into the unmapped territories of the heart.
