- Abstract
The article examines the ecopoetics in the dagong poetry of migrant workers in China that arose after the country's Reform and Opening-up in the late 1970s. It analyzes the nature poems written by migrant-worker poet Zheng Xiaoqiong and the politics and poetics embedded in the term "ecopoetry" in the context of postsocialist China. It discusses the role of ecopoetry in exposing the dangers posed by China's industrialization, urbanization and global capitalism to the natural environment.
