The contributors are keenly aware of the urgency facing the planets ecosystemsecosystems which include all of usand this volume makes the case that teaching poetry is not a luxury. Each of the books three sections works from a specific angle and register. Part I focuses on pragmatic approaches to classroom activities and curricular choices; Part II considers policies and politics, including the role of the UNs Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) program; and Part III takes a widescreen view, exploring the philosophical issues that arise when poems are integrated into sustainability curricula.
