Abstract

Robert Frost was a poet who had a preference for nature poetry. Through his nature poems, Frost demonstrated the meaning of nature, aroused people’s love and attention towards nature, and prompted the readers to reflect on the relationship between humans and nature, seeking the ecological balance on Earth, including the internal aspects of humans. All of these indicate that Frost’s nature poems are highly valuable ecological literature and cultural heritage that shines with ecological wisdom. This article will explore Frost’s nature poetry from the perspective of ecological criticism and analyze the ecological significance embedded within it.
