Plants in Contemporary Poetry

Focusing on the intersection of poetry and plant life, this work explores how contemporary American, English, and Australian poets represent plants, emphasizing their agency and consciousness. It introduces a new interdisciplinary approach called 'botanical criticism,' which integrates plant science with literary analysis. By addressing the underrepresentation of botanical themes in ecocriticism and related fields, the book contributes to critical plant studies and cultural botany, appealing to scholars interested in human-plant relationships.
