Abstract

This research analyzes the poetry collection Anjing Gunung by Irma Agryanti using Greg Garrard’s ecocriticism theory. The study focuses on identifying representations of nature, such as pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and the earth in five selected poems: Jalan ke Gunung, Anjing Gunung, Pemburu, Celeng, and Aku Melihat Hutan dalam Puisi. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher applies data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The analysis reveals 30 instances of nature representation. Pollution is symbolized through metaphors like the well is dead, indicating ecological damage. The wilderness appears through images of tree trunks and young forests, reflecting nature’s strength and vulnerability. The poet also criticizes environmental apocalypse caused by human greed, highlighting its impact on animals and the earth. These findings show a strong ecological message, urging environmental preservation. The study’s results are used to develop an E-module aligned with the independent curriculum for Phase E, aiming to enhance students’ literary appreciation and promote environmental awareness as part of character education.
