| Abstract | ||
| Nature played a vital role in the history of poetics and in the clashing theories of poetic creation. However, with the ecological pollution and environmental crisis of the modern age, modern poets' writings about nature and environment become different from the traditional nature poetry of their predecessors. They are supported by the awareness of human damage to the environment, emerging the science of ecology, and thus, the result is ecological poetry. A.R. Ammons is one of those modern ecological poets who has a lifelong interest in the science of ecology and poetry. Being deeply influenced by the transcendentalism and Taoist ecological traditions, Ammons offers, via poetry, certain sorts of remedy to treat the crisis, suggesting self-acceptance, elevation and reconciliation between human and nature, without naturalizing human, or humanizing nature. Hence, this paper attempts to examine the main ecological crisis in the modern age and the solutions offered by poetry to treat such problems. it aims at showing how power of the word, which is intangible, can heal and treat tangible environmental crisis. | ||
