About Nature's Words & Helen's ecopoetry May Gaia, Great Beloved, speak through me... may I be a channel, a conduit for Nature's words! Helen Moore, an award-winning British ecopoet and socially engaged artist, first created this website in 2004 using 'Dreamweaver', and a bunch of natural images taken on her digital camera, seeing the website as a changing showcase for her ecopoetry/socially engaged arts/ teaching, and as a repository for responses to it.
