A green literary text or an eco-poem is the wisdom of understanding human through nature. Green discourse is the need of the hour. Environmental chaos has given birth to the reinvention of glorified nature. Its purpose is to bring human beings from their insensitiveness towards nature. As a critical stance, it has one foot in literature and the other on land; as a theoretical discourse it negotiates between human and non-human. It aims to explore the environmental dimensions of literature. Although literature has dealt with environmental concerns since antiquity, it has never been has explored with such urgency as it is done today. The paper seeks to explore select poems in Indian English literature from an eco-critical perspective. Although there has been many poems in Indian English literature which deals explicitly with the nature, the attitude towards nature in those poems were that of pastoral impulse, an aesthetic appreciation of nature or a philosophical and mystical attitude towards nature. This paper makes an eco-critical analysis of select Indian English poems to give vent to eco terrorism and the general deterioration of the earth’s environment. It makes the theme of those poems much more relevant and transnational. The present study throws light on the rampant industrialization and urbanization that result in the degradation of man’s harmonious life with nature. The study also explores how literature can be instrumental in retrieving nature from the imminent crisis.
