<Overview>
This paper turns to the U.S. militarism of the oceans and engages how Indigenous Pacific scholars such
as Craig Santos Perez (Guam/Guahan) raise important questions about the role of poetry in the wake
of the Anthropocene. It explores how poetry and the literary imagination play a vital role in re-
imagining climate change, and how a new body of scholarship called “blue humanities” or “critical
ocean studies” expands the literary imagination to include the largest body of earth on the planet, as
well as its non-human others.
(This talk will be based on Prof. DeLoughrey's article “Towards a Critical Ocean Studies for the Anthropocene” which focuses on US militarism and the Pacific Islands and its poetic engagement by Indigenous poets.)
