Best known for his nature and animal poetry, Ted Hughes (1930-98) has an
important place in the history of twentieth century English literature with his
poems, stories for children, plays, essays, letters and translations. He has
been fascinated with the forces of nature, the world of animals and the
challenges of postindustrial society. His diction and controlled language give
a sense of order to the violent and chaotic natural world, drawing attention to
the immediate experiences. Ecocriticism,
the study of the
relationship between literature and physical environment” (
Glotfelty:1996, xviii) is chosen for reading “Hawk Roosting”
since this poem presents Hughes’s intense insights into the natural world. This
article exemplifies the ways in which Hughes explores both violence and order
in nature through the daily experiences of a hawk in its own habitat. The hawk
acts in an instictive manner in line with the natural order.

Doğa ve hayvan şiirleriyle tanınan Ted Hughes yazdığı çocuk hikayeleri,
oyunları, denemeleri, mektupları ve çevirileri ile 20. Yüzyıl İngiliz edebiyat
tarihinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Doğanın muazzam güçleri, hayvanların
dünyası ve endüstriyelleşme sonrasında çevrenin ve toplumun durumu şairin
ilgisini çeken konulardır. Tasvir ettiği doğal çevrenin anlık tecrübelerini
anlatan şair, şiirlerindeki sözcük seçimi ve dildeki kontrollü tutumu, vahşet
ve karmaşa içindeki doğal ortama bir nevi düzen getirir. Hughes’un doğal yaşamla
ilgili yoğun içgörüsünü içeren “Hawk Roosting” eserinin okunmasında fiziksel
çevre ve edebiyat arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen ekoeleştiri yaklaşımı
seçilmiştir. Bu çalışma şairin “Hawk Roosting” şiirinde doğadaki şiddet ve
düzen konularını tüneyen bir şahinin kendi yaşam alanında günlük yaşadıklarını
gözlemleyerek anlatmaktadır. Doğal düzene uyumlu olarak şahin iç güdüleriyle
hareket etmektedir.
