My research project
Cosmological Imaginations: Zen and material ecopoetics in William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, and E. E. CummingsMy research analyses the ecopoetics of early-twentieth-century U.S. poets William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, and E. E. Cummings through a framework composed of Zen Buddhism and New Materialism. I argue that, influenced by Zen, these poets merged materialism and spirituality by means of the poetic imagination, thus developing what I call a cosmological ecopoetics.
This project has been funded by the TECHNE AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership.
