The Prompt Now: Can Poetry Save the Earth?
In a time with a perception of energy scarcity, how can poetry help change climate change? How can poetry help us plug into a gejillion watt source of energy, everywhere available: human creativity?
What if we were able to solve the energy crisis by plugging into our creativity, directly? What would the world look like?
Take a flight of fancy and imagine, for better or for worse, literally or metaphorically (or metaphysically)... How can poetry save the Earth?
If you're interested in this topic, check out this recent book: John Felstiner's Can Poetry Save the Earth? (2009)
Keywords: poem, energy, [poet's tagline nickname]
