Summary/Abstract: This article analyses Robert Frost’s poetry through the ecocritical lens, it discovers in a large number of poems similar structures as scenes or monologues, all with a moral, which tries hard not to be elusive. Greg Garrard’s ecocritical tropes (“Wilderness”, “Apocalypse”, “Pastoral”, “Animal”, “The Earth”) are all identifiable in Frost’s poetry... Serenella Iovino and Serpil Oppermann’s ‛material ecocriticism’, ‘beings’, ‛porosity’ and ‛storied nature’, coexist with Stacy Alaimo’s ‛transcorporeality’ of nature in these works. It discovers a number of hyperobjects corresponding to Timothy Morton’s work on the matter.
