Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the representation of human–nature relationships in the poetry anthology Senja Jingga di Bentala Timah by Heri Suheri using Greg Garrard’s ecocritical perspective. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. The data source was the poetry anthology Senja Jingga di Bentala Timah, while the research data consisted of lines and stanzas representing human–nature relationships. Five poems were purposively selected based on the intensity of their ecological elements. The data were collected through literature study and analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on Greg Garrard’s ecocritical framework. The findings show that human–nature relationships are represented in complex and layered forms, including historical-exploitative, ethical-reflective, harmonious, socio-cultural, and spiritual relationships. Nature is positioned as an active entity that shapes human identity, collective memory, and ethical awareness. These findings affirm that the poems in the anthology play an important role in fostering readers’ ecological imagination and ecological awareness.
