Ecological Consciousness in Robert Frost’s Poetry

Abstract

Robert Frost's poems reflect the world of nature as an organic whole. His bio-centric vision of nature captures the internal bond between human and elemental world. There is a kind of intricate web among the elements of the natural world along with human beings. Frost has shown the interplay between all ingredients of nature to oppose utilitarian value that has caused modern environmental degradation. The communion and interconnection between man and nature are enhanced by locating human being as a part of sanctified world of nature. Frost's poems are eco-effects as they are composed by inspiration of ecology with ecological awareness. Frost has presented nature as a transforming force, which tends to create activity and knowledge and behind which lies a deep ecological consciousness.
