Zoopoetics assumes Aristotle was right. The general origin of
poetry resides, in part, in the instinct to imitate. But it is an
innovative imitation. An exploration of the oeuvres of Walt
Whitman, E. E. Cummings, W. S. Merwin, and Brenda Hillman reveals
the many places where an imitation of another species' poiesis
(Greek, makings) contributes to breakthroughs in poetic form.
However, humans are not the only imitators in the animal kingdom.
Other species, too, achieve breakthroughs in their makings through
an attentiveness to the ways-of-being of other animals. For this
reason, mimic octopi, elephants, beluga whales, and many other
species join the exploration of what zoopoetics encompasses.
Zoopoetics provides further traction for people interested in the
possibilities when and where species meet. Gestures are paramount
to zoopoetics. Through the interplay of gestures, the
human/animal/textual spheres merge making it possible to recognize
how actual, biological animals impact the material makings of
poetry. Moreover, as many species are makers, zoopoetics expands
the poetic tradition to include nonhuman poiesis.
