Abstract In this article I focus on Gabeba Baderoon’s engagement with nature and the ecological nuances in her poetry. Baderoon is an accomplished South African poet with four poetry collections to date: The Dream in the Next Body (2005), The Museum of Ordinary Life (2005), A hundred silences (2006), and The History of Intimacy (2018). These poetry collections sustain Baderoon’s ecofeminist sensibility as she engages with South Africa’s eco-environmental challenges. In expanding the scope of how ecology impacts on poetry, I strive to illustrate how Baderoon’s poetry is intimately bound up with the tropes of environmental humanities, ecofeminism, ecocriticism, and aquapoetics. I interrogate Baderoon’s engagement with ecological concerns in South Africa. Previous critical works about her poetry often discount how her poetry creatively harnesses ecopoetic tropes to illustrate the problematics of ecological concerns, climate change, and environmental crises. Rather, they often fixate on the portrayal of racial politics of apartheid as it culminated in the poverty of black people in her poetry. Interestingly, Baderoon does not enforce a strict and total division between these thematic concerns in her poetry collections. I argue in this article that, within the framework of commitment to ecological values, Baderoon explores the relationship between human and non-human agencies in her poetry. Arguably, the conception of human relations with the environment enables Baderoon to advocate for the protection of plants, animals, and water resources for a sustainable ecosystem. Dans cet article, je me concentre sur la nature et les nuances écologiques dans la poésie de Gabeba Baderoon. Baderoon est une poétesse sud-africaine accomplie qui a publié quatre recueils de poèmes à ce jour : The Dream in the Next Body (2005), The Museum of Ordinary Life (2005), A Hundred Silences (2006) et The History of Intimacy (2018). Ces recueils de poèmes soutiennent la sensibilité écoféministe de Baderoon qui s’attaque aux défis éco-environnementaux de l’Afrique du Sud. En élargissant la portée de l’impact de l’écologie sur la poésie, je m’efforce d’illustrer comment la poésie de Baderoon est intimement liée aux tropes des humanités environnementales, de l’écoféminisme, de l’écocritique et de l’aquapoétique. Je m’interroge sur les préoccupations écologiques de Baderoon en Afrique du Sud. Les travaux critiques antérieurs sur sa poésie ne tiennent souvent pas compte de la façon dont sa poésie exploite de manière créative les tropes écopoétiques pour illustrer la problématique des préoccupations écologiques, du changement climatique et des crises environnementales. Au contraire, ils se focalisent souvent sur la représentation de la politique raciale de l’apartheid, qui aboutit à la pauvreté des Noirs dans sa poésie. Il est intéressant de noter que Baderoon n’impose pas une division stricte et totale entre ces préoccupations thématiques dans ses recueils de poèmes. Je soutiens dans cet article que, dans le cadre de son engagement en faveur des valeurs écologiques, Baderoon explore la relation entre les organismes humains et non humains dans sa poésie. On peut soutenir que la conception des relations humaines avec l’environnement permet à Baderoon de plaider en faveur de la protection des plantes, des animaux et des ressources en eau pour un écosystème durable.
