Prodigal Flowers: Ten Ecopoems by Mario Petrucci
Join Candlestick Press for the online launch of Prodigal Flowers: Ten Ecopoems – a compelling single-author pamphlet of new poems by ecopoet and environmentalist Mario Petrucci. The poems question and warn, while finding wonder and beauty amid the sobering realities of climate change.
Mario will be joined by ecopoet Helen Moore, who will read from her own work and speak about the important role of ecopoetry.
Mario Petrucci is an early founder and leading proponent of ecopoetry. He’s also an academic, environmentalist and PhD physicist, as well as translator, educator and broadcaster. His many awards include the Arvon Prize, Bridport Prize, Irish Times Perpetual Trophy, and London Writers Competition (four times). In 2026, he was appointed Ecopoetry Network Coordinator for the Planetary Arts Movement by the World Academy of Art and Science.
