AB This essay explores affinities between an English Studies approach to ecocriticism, posthumanism, and recent “ecopoetics.” It will be argued that Alice Oswald’s Dart (2002) demonstrates that a conjunction of lyric and narrative poetry, continuous with English literary tradition, can help unify deep ecological re-awakening with a more complex social and human ecology. Specifically, the essay will examine: the poem’s posthuman sense of our dual continuitywith/discordance from nonhuman nature; integration of industrial activity into “nature”; acknowledgement of the integrity of humanity (encompassing an “environmental justice” perspective); and Oswald’s fundamental recognition, nevertheless, that ecological imperatives will always govern “human being.”
