The dividing line between creative writing and climate science - sometimes thin - has been triumphantly dissolved. A new postgraduate course at the University of East Anglia hopes to bring together “researchers in the environmental sciences, philosophy, history and literature to develop new ways of thinking about environmental change and social transitions”. And put that thermometer down. If you have experience writing “eco-poetry”, then the UEA wants to hear from you. UEA, the heart of the Climategate emails, already runs a project in “eco poetry” aimed at primary school children, intended to “stimulate and strengthen children’s environmental awareness”. You can see a leaf haiku here. It isn’t cheap, though. The course costs £5,000 for UK students and £11,900 for overseas students.
