Benzene Burns the Buttercup:
Here we have the hydrosphere as commons, a shared flow through us what we eat, drink, breathe, an arterial labor to thread one earthlife to the next. The poet can be seen as the letter animal at night or a lonely noun making its way out beyond the sulfurous glow a Walmart parking lot where the green John Deere tractor is a part of the field's design because the poet knows that feral or otherwise, things tend to move around
Not studies, but speaks to issues concerning fracking and pollution and how all those things are connected, how they get into our bodies, how they affect us, how our society is affected. So I hope you enjoy this review, and if you would like to check out the book, you can find out more about it at www middlecreekpublishingcom, as well as our Instagram and Facebook presence. Thank you very much. Have a good day

Hi. Thank you for sharing those words here on Swell. Some very vivid and beautiful images. And I've never heard of eco poetry. I'm definitely going to look into this. My next focus in the teaching artist work that I'm doing, the theme is water, so I was very inspired by this. And I'm studying drama therapy and I've heard of ecotherapy and so all connected. And I have to look into eco poetry and this book as well

Thanks, Chelsea. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you do find some good eco poetry to enjoy. And obviously, Middle Creek Publishing, we have a lot of eco poetry that we publish, but there's a lot of good stuff out there. It's an interesting kind of its own thing. I mean, there's nature poetry and then there's eco poetry and there's a little bit of a difference
