Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least

If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,

I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total darkness sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.”

W. H. Auden, The more loving one

One of the concerns of ecopoetry is non-human nature (it shares this concern with the critical apparatus it borrows from, ecocriticism). It certainly shares that concern with most of the world’s history of poetry: How can we connect with non-human nature that seems so much more, so much larger than ourselves? How can we understand it?
