The Poetics of Forests: A Conversation with Ellen Bass and Mary Evelyn Tucker

The Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment, the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, and Orion Magazine present the fifth event in a series to celebrate Orion’s anthology, Old Growth. “The Poetics of Forests” features a conversation between the award-winning poet Ellen Bass (“Indigo and Like a Beggar”) and Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-author of “Journey of the Universe” and co-director of Yale’s Forum on Religion and Ecology.
The event centers on a dialogue around the poetic dimensions of forests, including how the old growth forests near Ellen Bass’s home in Santa Cruz have inspired her own work, and how poetry as a genre can help give form to the many socio-cultural meanings of the forest.
