Abstract

Poetry is a form of literary work that is close to nature. This paper aims to describe and explain the representation of nature contained in the Hujan Bulan Juni poem by Sapardi Djoko Damono. The approach used is ecocritical Greg Garrard. The method in this paper is critical analysis. The results of the discussion are representations of nature, including: rain; flowering tree; street; root of the tree; flower. The connection in ecology is that humans must play an active role in preserving the trees and caring for them so that they can grow, flower, and bear fruit. Humans must be wise in taking advantage of the coming rain so as not to cause disaster. Humans must realize that the importance of preserving nature in this case is water, trees, and flowers. The choice of words that support the representation of nature is the drop of longing; flowering tree; erasing his footprints; absorbed by the roots of the flower tree.
