Crisis and Calamity: Reimagining Canadian Ecopoetics in Response to Anthropocenic Disaster
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis examines contemporary Canadian ecopoetry in its merging of poetry and science, human and non-human, theory and practice. While the historical relationship between Canadian writing and nature grounds the exploration of present-day discourse, the arbitrariness and pervasiveness of borders and other human conceptions become a subject of criticism for the ecopoets studied in the thesis. Ecopoetry attempts to reframe the perspective of environment in literature, away from commodifying representation and towards a holistic appreciation. Understanding is a tenuous proposition for ecopoets. Learning is vital for ecopoetic exploration, both as an intrinsic product of engaging scientific thought and an ontological struggle with representation. The ecopoet divides their efforts between raising attention for the need for intervention in environmental crisis and dwelling in the consequences of our connection and potential dissonance with the environments and organisms we hope to protect.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
