Abstract

Ecocriticism is a study that analyzes literature from an environmental perspective and examines the environmental scenes within it to understand the relationship between humans and their natural environment. It strives to examine the environmental aspects in literary works to create a new literary ecological system or develop an ecological literary policy that sheds light on the cultural and climatic phenomena of society. Khosrow Golsorkhi, a famous Iranian poet, deeply understood the contemporary crises and sought solace and companionship in nature. He used nature as a platform to express his human and environmental concerns, pointing out that each element of nature and the ecosystem can reflect the thoughts, emotions, and individual and social beliefs of humans. Environmental criticism in his poetry discusses everything related to nature in light of the mutual relationships between them and the ethical foundations within the framework of respecting the environment and taking a responsible stance towards it, and ultimately providing effective solutions to overcome environmental problems. The method of research is a descriptive-analytical exploration of the poetic evidence collected in this study, in order to obtain the poet's perspective on presenting the existing facts of the environment in the modern era. This can only be achieved through the deduction and analysis of the poetic lines that emit the scent of nature preservation. This research has sought to discover the ability of the ecosystem to express its active role in the two poetic collections "Wet Bird" and "Awake Meadow" by Khosrow Golsorkhi, and has concluded that environmental criticism is manifested in them in three noticeable directions: the portrayal of human characteristics of the environment and human domination over the environment, and the equality between the environment and humans, where each can be followed according to its role in his language, imagination, description, creation of character, and poetic events. Nature has appeared in its two sets of environments that contemporary humans can take over and have control over. However, the poet gives it human characteristics and puts it in the conditions and circumstances of passionate characters to increase the public's awareness of environmental concerns and to arouse sensitivity and emotion in them. The poet expresses his clear poetic discourse and his clear stance on environmental events, sympathizing with nature on one hand and criticizing the behavior of the characters involved in the events, blaming them and warning them of the consequences of this destruction.
