Earth Songs

This wide-ranging collection, gathered from the pages of Resurgence Magazine, is the first major anthology of contemporary eco-poetry. The poems testify to the current violation of the natural order, but also sing the diverse beauty of the earth. They celebrate wildlife, the seasons, wilderness, and the way in which our lives are in constant creative or destructive play with the whole of nature.

The poets featured include Wendell Berry, Sujata Bhatt, Gillian Clarke, Dana Gioia, Thom Gunn, Seamus Heaney, Jeremy Hooker, Peter Redgrove, Jeremy Reed, Carol Rumens, Penelope Shuttle, Gary Snyder, Pauline Stainer, Mark Strand, John Heath-Stubbs, George Szirtes, and many more.
