1 Scigaj claims that “Contemporary ecopoets usually become interested in responding creatively to the broad outlines of ecological thinking; they seldom write poems that demand particular knowledge of the technical intricacies of scientific theory” (12)–this is, in essence, a denial of many linguistically innovative poets’ modus operandi, including the work of Cambridge-based J.H. Prynne, despite the mild qualification that Scigaj makes after this claim.
