What Sparks Poetry:
Moheb Soliman (Great Lakes, MN) on Ecopoetry Now
"This brings you to 'On the water;' this is where the poem dwells. Trying to dream about water, or the opposite—sleep on water. A poem as oblivious as you could get to the complaints above. There are other poems in the book that are more critically, consciously, 'ecopoetic.' When you were asked months ago to choose one and discuss your earth-centered poetics through it, a dozen others came to mind—poems that fessed up to climate change and sea-level rise and invasive species." |
