A Comparative Ecological Assertion in the Poems of Agha Shahid Ali and Sylvia Plath

The serious ecological crises like air pollution, acid precipitation, global warming, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity have engulfed our planet earth. Ecocriticism became very much acclaimed critical approach in the 1980’s after Feminism and Post-colonialism, and developed, with attention from scholars of various fields, in different countries into a separate subject. In the application of Ecocriticism to the study of all forms of literary works it shows the ideas and thoughts that prove helpful in dealing with the relationship between man and nature, and also contribute to the cause of environmental preservation.

itself? A poem must provide a relevant landscape to our experience if it is a horizon. As a matter of perception, it should provide convincing proof that the language plays a fundamental role with the world upon examination, and its capacity to construct a space that can be made a habitat.
Like other arts, poetry is also an art of creation. The poet actually lives in an imaginary world and presents things as he/she imagines them and at times makes them more comprehensible, beautiful and creative than they can be seen by an ordinary person. A poet creates all together a new world, it is a matter of fact that the topic of poetry generally revolves round animated sentiments. The poets preserve the past incidents and events through the power of poetry.
Every poem has its value in human experience regardless of school. It is a piece of art to be looked at very closely, it is something of use very flexibly and pragmatically. All the poetic theories are of the consensus that the poem always remains the central evidence of understanding. The understanding establishes in that species of animal man which lives in contact with the world: "because experience is the fulfillment of an organism in its struggles and achievements in a world of things, it is art in germ" (Dewey 19 There is a highly profiled language of color, paradoxes, oxymora, and other means to lift the poems into the lyrical and fanciful.
Nature has long played an important role in American migration poetry, it is being  towards fellow humans, and our widespread abuse of the environment. We kill our fellow beings to meet our own filthy and short lived ends and we cut forests and destroy nature again to fulfill our worldly desires. This action is totally condemned by ecocritics who explained its merits and demerits by using a term called 'Ecophilosophy'.
Agha Shahid Ali has given a vivid picture of the importance of streams and rivers in his poem Desert Landscape, and also says that these natural entities are the main sources of energy and if there is any sort of halt in their function the whole world will change into a desert. In this poem he talks about rain in a desert that is hope. In this poem Ali considers earth as barren both moral and in humanistic perspective, where people have lost hope like in a desert there is no hope of rain and he is very optimistic while saying that the time will come when there will be rain in the desert and all dreams will be fulfilled. The streets will be changed into streams and rivers, but it will come in abundance and will wash away everything that comes its way. The mountains will catch fire and everything will get vanished. This can be viewed as revenge from nature to mankind for destroying it in many ways. In this poem Ali projects that our chief objective should be to fight against the causes that are responsible for natural disasters like pollution and resource depletion, for the sake of the betterment of humans on earth. This is a thought put forward by  The poet is clear here by saying not only does modern technology, in the form of cars and the superhighway 'poison' the environment, but also it 'seals' the speaker off from the woods and natural beauty of her friend's property.
The Eco-Psychological aspect paves way to the sense of biological kinship with nonhuman nature and that also provides material for language through sound effects and other formal devices to explore the figurative and aural capacity to evoke the natural world in powerful ways. This aspect can be explored in the poetry of both the poets as Sylvia Plath in "Mushrooms" writes: We are shelves, The effect of personification here is not the projection of human emotion onto nature, the mushrooms display no motivation in their combination of humility and determination, but rather a wise portrayal of the way, to human perception, mushrooms appear at an individual level to be harmless. Even botanically speaking, it takes a large collection of mushrooms, connected underground, to comprise an organism, no mushroom stands alone. Thus Plath's use of first person plural is not merely a poetic stance, it expresses an ecological fact.
Plath was indeed aware and concerned about the effects of nuclear fallout on humans and the environment, but there are also other, less foreboding reasons to consider Plath an ecological poet.

Conclusion
There are poems that address concerns associated with the broader field of the environmental humanities, such as environmental and social justice and others engage with the natural world with an emphasis on our sensory responses to it. Both these poets suggest an emphasis on individual experience, but at the same time shows the relationship between
