Unleashing Eco-Critical Awareness: An Exploration of Environmental Degradation and Resilience in Ada Limón's The Leash

Abstract

This study looks into the thematic complexity of Ada Limón's poem "The Leash," investigating its link to eco-criticism and the human relationship with the natural world. This study uses a textual analysis methodology to find important themes such as environmental deterioration, human damage, and resistance. The study uses eco-critical theory to investigate the connections between literature and the physical environment, focussing on the poem's depiction of nature as a source of both destruction and resilience. This study adds to the developing subject of ecocriticism by highlighting the importance of literature in raising environmental knowledge and accountability.
