Abstract: Using a modern eco-critical perspective, this paper investigates the intricate interaction between nature and human experience in Robert Frost's poetry.While traditionally viewed as a poet of rural America and internal reflection, Frost's works are now being re-examined for their profound ecological insights.Using modern eco-critical and posthuman models, the paper contends that Frost's nature is an active ecological agent rather than a passive backdrop influencing ethical awareness, emotional insight, and decisionmaking.By means of close readings of important poems, including "The Road Not Taken," "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," "Fire and Ice," and "The Tuft of Flowers," this study emphasises how Frost negotiates themes of climate symbolism, nonhuman agency, and ecological kinship.The analysis incorporates second-wave and posthuman eco-criticism to reposition Frost as a poet of planetary ethics.In the end, the paper argues that Frost's poetry reveals nature not as a simple poetic idea but rather as a significant co-actor in the human journey, so providing important lessons for environmental literature, climate debate, and ecological education.
