초록

Deep Ecology presents two main fulcrums: biocentric equality and Self-realization. Of all poets, Robinson Jeffers called inhumanist and Gary Snyder who is called posthumanist are the two main representatives as ecological poets and thinkers, but one more important thing is here in their lifestyles. Jeffers’s Tor House and Hawk Tower in Carmel was built by his hands, same as of Snyder’s Kitkitdizze in Sierra Nevada. Their poetry, own ecoconsciousness and also lifestyle present itself as an Organic whole. Of all their works, Jeffers’s “The Answer” and Snyder’s “Ripples on the Surface” could be selected their essence showing the organic whole, especially, is directly used in Jeffers’ “The Answer”, also in “Ripples in the Surface”. Snyder exaggerates a ‘performance’, which means transformation for a perspective habitat on earth. Jeffers addressed himself to cosmic themes in his poems, including civilization, nature creatures, beauty, universe, and whole. Also he had his own sharp perception of intimate details and entities. For more four decades, Jeffers, obviously, had his preview gift and lived in his Tor House by the Pacific Ocean for the last of the lifetime, as a part of nature in the universe. In his habitat, almost his writings created. Little acknowledged, his poems are a kind of narratives for the greatest biocentric equality. About a half century, Snyder, too, has attempted to transform problems we have faced. His ecological thoughts and ecoconsciousness have been affected by a predecessor poet Jeffers and significantly they have shared the ideal thoughts. Some critics including Robert Zaller, Patrick D. Murphy and Peter Quigley found and acknowledged these two poets’ role in the rising of deep ecology and environmentalism. In this environmental crisis, these two ecological poets shared their ecoconsciousness and had their own habitat in the west of America, showing the practice in the wild with in their poetry and practice as an organic whole for our sustainable earth.

Abstract

Deep Ecology presents two main fulcrums: biocentric equality and Self-realization. Of all poets, Robinson Jeffers called inhumanist and Gary Snyder who is called posthumanist are the two main representatives as ecological poets and thinkers, but one more important thing is here in their lifestyles. Jeffers’s Tor House and Hawk Tower in Carmel was built by his hands, same as of Snyder’s Kitkitdizze in Sierra Nevada. Their poetry, own ecoconsciousness and also lifestyle present itself as an Organic whole. Of all their works, Jeffers’s “The Answer” and Snyder’s “Ripples on the Surface” could be selected their essence showing the organic whole, especially, is directly used in Jeffers’ “The Answer”, also in “Ripples in the Surface”. Snyder exaggerates a ‘performance’, which means transformation for a perspective habitat on earth. Jeffers addressed himself to cosmic themes in his poems, including civilization, nature creatures, beauty, universe, and whole. Also he had his own sharp perception of intimate details and entities. For more four decades, Jeffers, obviously, had his preview gift and lived in his Tor House by the Pacific Ocean for the last of the lifetime, as a part of nature in the universe. In his habitat, almost his writings created. Little acknowledged, his poems are a kind of narratives for the greatest biocentric equality. About a half century, Snyder, too, has attempted to transform problems we have faced. His ecological thoughts and ecoconsciousness have been affected by a predecessor poet Jeffers and significantly they have shared the ideal thoughts. Some critics including Robert Zaller, Patrick D. Murphy and Peter Quigley found and acknowledged these two poets’ role in the rising of deep ecology and environmentalism. In this environmental crisis, these two ecological poets shared their ecoconsciousness and had their own habitat in the west of America, showing the practice in the wild with in their poetry and practice as an organic whole for our sustainable earth.
