DEEP GREEN LITERATURE: A STUDY OF ROBINSON JEFFERS S LAST COLLECTION

The present research studies selected poems from Robinson Jeffers s last collection. One of thereasons for choosing Jeffers s poetry to be the subject of the study is the readers neglect and their lackof interest in reading his poetry, even with his acclaimed later work The Beginning and the End andOther Poem Collection (1963) due to his declined fame, no matter how positively his ecologicalphilosophy is commented in the in the late twentieth century after environmental problems become aserious threat to the human life and the other living things on Earth.The present study aims to show how Jeffers s poetry mirrors the tragic destruction of the earth senvironment, caused by the human excessive emphasis on techno-prosperity mania, warning from theeffects of pollution and the excessive exploitation of the natural resources. Also, this study aims toshed light on the purpose of Jeffers s poetry, which is to present reality and intensify the readers awareness of the natural world, and to show how the poet manipulates the ideology of Deep GreenEcology, which calls for highlighting and radically resisting the consequences of the materiallyhuman-centered civilization.Lastly, this study ends with a conclusion that summarizes the major findings of the research.
