The purpose of this study is to approach Mary Oliver as a poet who loses herself totally in the larger world around her. The study is an ecocritical investigation into selected poems of American Primitive, Oliver's Pulitzer-prize-winning collection (1983). It highlights the poet’s infatuation with nature and reveals her means for feeling connected to her natural surroundings. It discusses the poet's skillful manipulation of senses in gaining access to the natural world as well as her use of literary devices in shaping her art and attracting the reader to it. It also sheds light on her descriptive power and mastery in creating settings appropriate to her continuing slippage from one natural element into another. In short, the paper is an attempt to examine Mary Oliver’s attitude toward nature in addition to her means for articulating it, which is the heart of a new critical approach referred to as ecocriticism.
