About

Poetry at Warwick was established by Emma Mason in 2016 to bring together colleagues across the university with critical interests in poetry and poetics from all periods. Our focus is on showcasing colleagues' ongoing critical work on poetry and providing a space in which to advertise workshops and conferences in the field. If you wish to be listed on our pages, or kept up to date with events, please email Mae.Losasso@warwick.ac.uk or Stacey.McDowell@warwick.ac.uk.

Ecopoetics at Warwick

Beyond nature writing, ecopoetics ranges from the making and study of pastoral and wilderness poetry to the intersection of poetry and animal studies, or from the poetics of urban environments to poets' responses to disasters and matters of environmental justice.

Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics

Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics, which seeks to publish the best contemporary scholarship on poetry from across the world, is edited by Professor Dan Katz.
