The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics offers comprehensive coverage of the vital and growing movement of ecopoetics. This volume begins with a general introduction to the field, followed by six sections:

• Perspectives: broad overviews engaging fields such as biosemiosis, kinship praxis, and philosophical approaches
• Experiments: formal innovations developed by poets in response to planetary crises
• Earth and Water: explorations of poetic entanglement with planetary chemical and biological systems
• Waste/Toxicity/Precarity: poetics addressing the effects of pollution and climate change
• Environmental Justice and Activism: examinations of poetry as an engine of political and cultural change
• Region and Place: an international array of traditional and contemporary geographically focused responses to ecosystems and environmental conditions; and
• Subjectivities/Affects/Sexualities: investigations of gender, ethnicity, and race as they intersect with ecological concerns

Each section includes an overview and summary addressing the specific essays in the section. These previously unpublished essays represent a wide variety of nationalities, backgrounds, perspectives, and critical approaches exploring the interdisciplinary field of ecopoetics. Contributions from leading scholars working across the globe make The Routledge Companion to Ecopoetics a landmark textbook and reference for a variety of researchers and students.
