This creative-critical project investigates how the poetic and ecological legacies of nineteenth-centuryarboreal poetry can be brought into dialogue with contemporary poetic practice for the benefit both oflandscapes and of the poetry inspired by them. The critical component explores the contingentrelationship between humanity, poetry and trees, examining poetry by writers of different classes,genders and genres. It considers how this relationship's poetic presentation is influenced by the poet'samateur knowledge of natural history and literary history, by their conservationist interests and livedexperience. Revisiting trees made famous by literary texts, the creative component considers how theirpoetic depictions interact with their current realities. It asks how this writer might engage poetically withthe twenty-first century landscapes of nineteenth-century texts as a working-class woman of colour in anexploration of the nexus of nature, poetic legacy and human identity.

这个创造性批判项目研究了如何将十九世纪树栖诗歌的诗意和生态遗产与当代诗歌实践进行对话，以造福风景和受其启发的诗歌。批判部分探讨了人性、诗歌和树木之间的偶然关系，审视不同阶级、性别和流派作家的诗歌。它考虑了诗人对自然历史和文学史的业余知识、他们的保护主义兴趣和生活经历如何影响这种关系的诗意呈现。重新审视因文学文本而闻名的树木，创意部分考虑了它们的诗意描述如何与当前的现实相互作用。它询问这位作家作为一名有色人种的工人阶级女性如何诗意地融入十九世纪文本中的二十一世纪风景，探索自然、诗歌遗产和人类身份之间的联系。
