Summary:The nature of literature which has been developed has begun to be expressed by the right to life of nature has taken an aim to create awareness by centralizing the nature in the poems. Ecocritic has eradicated the opposition of nature and culture, bent on environmental justice issues and has led the readers to take responsibility for the entire planet through a socialist environmentalist critique. One of the most important centers of human history, Cyprus, which is located in the Mediterranean with its natural beauty and resources, has Mediterranean/ islander literary on the one hand, also shows a natural tendency in the local and universal context. Fikret Demirağ has had an important place in Turkish Cypriot poetry since 1974, as he was the nature’s voice being the pen of nature that is for purposes to hear and reflect the voice of nature, to convey social and universal problems in the language of nature, to protect nature and natural habitats of people, to repair damaged areas in rural and urban areas. In this study, Fikret Demirağ’s poems are analyzed considering an eco-critical approach and the poems are subjected to descriptive content analysis in nature and poet, nature and roots, urbanization and destruction of nature, environmental pollution, war and nuclear threat and such other subheadings.
