Abstract

The most urgent issue the world is suffering from is that of climate change resulting from ecocide. A big number of writers, thinkers, and scientists are involved in explaining the dangers of this horrible ecological crisis. Owing to poetry's rhetorical capacity of expression, Helen Moore, a contemporary British poet, has been inextricably entangled to use her eco-poetic approach to show readers the terrifying dimensions of the problem. Her collection of poetry “Ecozoa" has been fully devoted to convince modern man of his moral responsibility for the deterioration spread all over the planet as a consequence to his ecocide. Throughout the volume, Moore propagates themes like the scarcity of natural resources, the inevitable relationship between man and the Mother Earth, mass devastation of the Mother Earth (ecocide), and climate changes resulting from man's malpractices on the planet. Man has done all these harmful practices either because of his ignorance or as a desire to promote his life through modern technology. In this study, the researcher adopts the eco-poetic approach to throw condensed light on Moore's poetic skills in expressing her ecological ideas in a persuasive and influential way.
