தமிழ் புதுக் கவிதைகளில் இயற்கை / Nature in Modern Tamil Poetry

Abstract

This world is in order with the metabolism of sky, air, fire, water and land. There is neither creator nor literature which does not sing this world of nature. From the Sangam period to this present time, there is no work of any kind of literature that does not have natural thinking in it. But as far as creativity is concerned, the days of singing about gods, kings and those who were high in society have gone, and creators have changed to the extent that they consider the environment as the subject of their works. Nature, which runs and plays with existence and non-existence, is living by renewing itself according to the times. In modern literature, especially in new poetics, these natural impressions are receiving great attention from the creators. Nature portrays itself as forests, trees, flowers, mountains, heat, cold, rain, villages, agriculture, and other natural habitats. The swaying course of nature is beautifully recorded in modern works. It can be seen that the status of writing only aesthetics in the records about nature has changed and the purpose of the work has been expanded in new poetics such as environmental degradation, the damage caused by them, and the awareness to be gained. Hence, this article decodes the poems that praise and give awareness from the new poems about nature.
