Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecopoetry of W. S. Merwin embarks on a journey into the poetic world of W. S. Merwin, a master of language whose profound relationship with nature transcends conventional boundaries. Merwin’s poetry is not merely a collection of verses; it is a philosophical reflection on the human connection to the environment, deeply rooted in the principles of Deep Ecology. Through an analysis of selected works, this book not only delves into the literary dimensions of Merwin’s environmental consciousness but also traces the evolution of his life—from a celebrated poet to an activist cultivating a personal sanctuary in the form of a palm forest in Hawaii.
