Abstract
This anthology draws from a series of poems that I read as a college junior in a humanities-focused environmental studies class at Swarthmore College, as well as ecopoems that I have read in my own free time. It is meant to honor each of these poems that touched me in a unique way, which I will discuss in my commentary. For some, I was drawn to the poem’s overall message, or strong sensory language, or the identity of the poet that seeped through. I love poetry as a medium of expression, even though I sometimes struggle to find my poetic voice. Throughout this anthology, there is no one cohesive theme, except for the genre of ecopoetry, of course. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy these musings, and come away with a new sense of appreciation, curiosity, and wonder for these poems. Thank you for reading.
