nature poet
Wilderness-inspired wordsmith
A nature poet is a poet whose work centers on the natural world—landscapes, seasons, plants, animals, weather.
The term evokes the Romantic tradition of Wordsworth and the American lineage of Frost and Mary Oliver, though any poet who makes nature their primary subject qualifies: She's often called a nature poet, but her work is really about mortality.
