Ecophilia: Revitalization of Nature in the Select Poems of Mary Oliver

Abstract

Nature is an epitome of restoring and rejuvenating the affinity with the ecosystem and the living beings. Mary Oliver is an American poet who always finds solace in nature. All her works are completely ladened with vivid imagery, natural elements and unadorned language. Her work titled “What do We Know: Poems and Prose Poems” serves as the best example of how nature is a consoling aspect for human beings by undergoing an introspective journey and also a reservoir of life experiences. This research article sets out to trace how nature acts as a therapy and it also delineates the psychological relationship that exists between nature and human beings from the point of view of Ecophilia.
