Abstract

[Burnett foregrounds the competing demands of agency and formal experiment for poets with an ecological focus. Exhibitions curated by the author at the Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World show how a gallery context might widen the scope of the audience for innovative poetry through strategic sharing of skills and networks. Burnett suggests that interdisciplinary poetry, art and ecology collaborations could answer one criticism of ecopoetics: that of the ill-equipped nature of a small readership for a political cause of environmentalism that demands wide engagement. The role of Visitor Studies is considered, while the issues of unified and divided audiences are explored. Work by Harriet Tarlo, and Cynthia Hogue and Rebecca Ross is explored, along with theoretical insight from Retallack and Waldman.]
