| This study aims to explore the intersections between nature and femininity in Pound_s poetic work. This qualitative study employs ecocriticism and ecofeminist literary theories to investigate how Pound utilizes the forms of nature to construct the literary perspective of ecofeminism in the selected poems. There are three main findings. First, the combination of female images and natural elements, the representations of the symbiotic interconnectedness between nature and women, the embodiment of women_s sense of place. Second, Pound_s poetic language and imagery reflect a deeper, concern for ecological and feminine subjectivities. Third, Pound_s usage of ecofeminist writing explores the interconnectedness of ecological and feminist concern, the weak and marginalized groups, and all the vulnerable groups all over the world, which transboundaries different groups, genders in different countries. how the female_s sense of place is embodied in the selected poems of the study. Fourth, the poems explore how the female_s sense of place is embodied and suggest a sense of interconnectedness, reverence for nature, and nuanced portrayals of femininity that align with ecofeminist concern. The study concludes that Ezra Pound_s poems, demonstrates an implicit ecofeminist consciousness through his literary treatment of nature and women. The implication of the study is it offers a lacuna for researchers a new thinking to do research on Ezra Pound_s literary works in a new direction. Meanwhile, integrating ecofeminism and Pound_s poetry is also a new try to explore the intersections and interconnectedness between human and nature, human and environment, which can furtherly raise awareness of human_s concern for women and nature, and better combine literary works and ecofeminism. |
