This project takes an eco-critical approach and explores the idea of poetry as taking the “mysterious measure” of the relationship between man and the world around him, in the work of a number of contemporary Irish poets. For each of the poets chosen in the study, the marking out of the landscape has a very special significance, closely associated with the act of writing itself. In this way various “markings” in the physical landscape are echoed in the landscape of the mind of the poet, causing a profound sense of interaction between mindscape and landscape.
