Abstract
Eco-psychology is an interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship
between human psychology and the natural environment. In modern American poetry, nature is often portrayed not merely as a physical
landscape but as a medium through which poets explore emotional,
philosophical, and psychological experiences. Robert Frost, one of the most
prominent American poets, developed a unique poetic vision in which natural settings become a reflection of human consciousness.His poems frequently depict interactions between individuals and nature, leading to deeper insights into human life, decision-making, and existential concerns.This research paper examines eco-psychological elements in Frost’s poetry and evaluates his influence on later American poets. Through textual analysis of selected poems, the study highlights how Frost’s nature
imagery reveals psychological depth and contributes to the development of
ecological awareness in modern literature.
