Ecological Poetics; Or, Wallace Stevens's Birds by Michael Wolfe

Or, Wallace Stevens's Birds

A critical study that reimagines a major modernist poet as an ecological thinker by tracing how birds and soundscapes structure his lyrics and their attention to the more-than-human world. Combining close readings with ecocriticism and sound studies, it shows how avian presences mediate perception, embodiment, and place, linking poetic form to habitats and interspecies relations while countering the charge of abstract solipsism.
