The aim of my essay is to analyse a recurring rhetorical strategy in some ecologically informed poems by P.K. Page. The texts I will discuss (P.K. Page’s “Summer”, “After Rain”, “Ecology” and “Planet Earth”) share common semantic fields that emphasise the relationship and reciprocal influence and interconnectedness between writer and nature. The analysis of the ecolects employed by the poetess shows her to be more interested in capturing the relationship between writer and nature than to reflect on the man/nature relationship in oppositional terms.

Abstract
The aim of my essay is to analyse a recurring rhetorical strategy in some ecologically informed poems by P.K. Page. The texts I will discuss (P.K. Page’s “Summer”, “After Rain”, “Ecology” and “Planet Earth”) share common semantic fields that emphasise the relationship and reciprocal influence and interconnectedness between writer and nature. The analysis of the ecolects employed by the poetess shows her to be more interested in capturing the relationship between writer and nature than to reflect on the man/nature relationship in oppositional terms.File in questo prodotto:
