讲座提要：
Drawing upon intersections of ecocritical and posthumanist critical theory, this talk explores key prospects, possibilities, and problems of experimental poetry in the Anthropocene, a term designating our current geological epoch, wherein human activity generates environmental change. Problematizing and furthering the trajectories of ‘ecopoetics,’ I assess radical formal implications for late-20th to 21st century poetry of certain scientific, technological, and ecological phenomena, with particular emphasis on the work of J. H. Prynne, Jorie Graham, and Will Alexander.
