Abstract
The essay focuses on the idea of sacrality as it manifests itself in the poetry of Moya Cannon. It is argued that her poems espouse an ecocentric ethic through fostering a sense of nature's sacredness that is, however, by no means limited to a monotheistic view such as that promoted by Christianity. Instead, the sacred that Cannon explores in her work is characterized by an acceptance of a plurality of practices of piety and an attitude of wonder at the mysterious grace of nature, even in its most minute manifestations.
