Sarah Nolan is a lecturer at University of Nevada, Reno, where she works on American poetry and contemporary literature. She has contributed articles to many key journals and collections, including Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism, Studies in American Culture, and New International Voices in Ecocriticism.

Nolan’s book develops out of new materialist innovations transcending traditional ecopoetical interpretations of poetry. Her dazzling close readings are exciting to behold. They create a web of convincing matter that shore up her masterful take and development of this exciting field."" - Susan Morrison, Professor of English, Texas State University, San Marcos""A product of the built environments of greater Los Angeles whose ecopoetic ideas have been tempered by years of living in the Great Basin Desert on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Nolan thoroughly understands the natureculture continuum, while also recognizing and valuing the meaning of natural forces that exceed and constrain the human. She offers an ecumenical view of what an ‘environment’ is and how ‘this new era of ecopoetical theory’ enables readers to appreciate the materiality of texts and the textuality of the physical world."" - From the Foreword by Scott Slovic
