Ecotheology and Love examines ecotheology and ecopoetics in the work of Sohrab Sepehri, a twentieth-century Rumi and a pillar of the religion of love, and American novelist James Baldwin. Davary shows how these artists’ deep understanding of spiritual traditions of the world give their work immediacy for our time.
In Ecotheology and Love: The Converging Poetics of Sohrab Sepehri and James Baldwin, Bahar Davary points to the interrelation of religion, poetry, and ecology from a comparative perspective with an emphasis on decoloniality. This work shows how authors Sohrab Seperhi and James Baldwin sought social justice by building their work on love and an authentic way of knowing the world based on an interconnected knowledge of the self. The layers of depth in Sepehri and Baldwin’s works and their immediacy for our time has yet to be fully understood, but through Ecotheology and Love, Davary takes a significant step towards achieving such a fuller understanding.
