Eco-crisis leads to the rise of Eco-consciousness

Abstract

Nature and the environment play an important role in Malayalam poetry. The beauty of the landscape, which is rich in various species of flora and fauna, mighty rivers, and the shore line, adds to Kerala's vibrant culture and tradition. It demonstrates the region's ethnic diversity. Mysticism associated with the natural landscape attempts to claim its identity once more. A few writers from the area have depicted the relationship between man and nature in their writing. One of the most prevalent themes in contemporary Kerala poetry is environmental awareness. Ecological motifs, pictures, and symbols are prominently featured, giving their poetry a sense of beauty and aesthetics. In this paper, we look at how natural landscapes and myths are represented in a few river poems by two of India's most illustrious poets, K Satchidanand and G SankaraKurup, whose works strongly reflect ecological consciousness.
