The generous commentaries provided by Acker, Cresswell, Engelmann, and Nassar in response to my article, ‘Climate Geopoetics (The Earth is a Composted Poem)’, point to various potentialities for the geopoetic project upon and beyond the page. In this response, I focus on three threads woven through the commentaries: form, self, and potential.
