Increasing climate changes all over the world have recently gained much global attention due to their impacts on our environment and, therefore, quality of life. This paper investigates how poetry can express and promote creative communion with the Earth. In so doing, it will analyze the ecological aspects of the work of American poet William Carlos Williams (1883-1963). This paper argues that Williams’ poetry has always envisaged pastorals and, therefore, his poetics can be analyzed in terms of modern concepts of Green Poetry or Eco poetics. As will be argued, Williams engaged in eco-poetry both implicitly and explicitly, and, thus, he has been one of the pioneers in the domain of ecopoeisis. Maintaining the relationship between the poet and nature found in Romantic lyrical poetry, Williams’ poetics expresses the inevitable interrelationship of not only the poet but also humanity and nature. Through critical analysis, this paper will show how Williams’ poetics reflects a mutual relationship with nature based on equality with other members within the biosphere. In other words, Williams’ poetics underlines and undermines any concepts of human superiority to other creatures or nature itself.
