Ecocriticism, the study of literature through an environmental lens, offers a powerful framework for analyzing Carol Ann Duffy's acclaimed poetry collection "The Bees." This paper explores how Duffy employs vivid natural imagery and poetic techniques to shed light on pressing ecological concerns facing our world. A close reading of three poems from the collection - "Water," "The Bees," and "Cold" - elucidates Duffy's deft weaving of the natural world into her poems as a means of sounding the alarm about environmental degradation. "Water" serves as an urgent metaphorical warning about the critical importance of clean water sources. "The Bees" acts as an elegiac lament for the population declines affecting this vital pollinating species. And "Cold" captures the stark realities of Arctic ice melt as a harbinger of climate change. Through rich description, metaphor, and other devices, Duffy imbues each poem with a layered ecological significance that both delights and unsettles the reader.
