Over the past thirty years many poets have exhibited an increasing sensitivity to ecological thinking. But Leonard Scigaj is the first to define ecopoetry - Marked by its appreciation of nature as a series of self-regulating cyclic systems - as separate and distinct from nature or environmental poetry. Ecopoetry insists that the interests of humans must be balanced with the needs of nature. Focusing on the work of A. R. Ammons, Wendell Berry, W. S. Merwin, and Gary Snyder, America's foremost ecopoets, Scigaj explores each poet's depth of involvement in nature and his ability to use ordinary language that models biocentric ways of seeing nature. Just as a sustainable society does not depreciate its resource base, so a sustainable poetry does not restrict interest to textuality.

In contrast to nature poets of the past who tended more toward the bucolic and pastoral, many contemporary nature poets are taking up radical environmental and ecological themes. In the last few years, interesting and evocative work that examines this poetry has begun to lay the foundation for studies in ecopoetics. Informed in general by current thinking in environmental theory and specifically by the work of cultural geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, The West Side of Any Mountain participates in and furthers this scholarly attention by offering an overarching theoretical framework with which to approach the field."--BOOK JACKET.
