This study compares the landscape in the works of Glück and Oliver. It intends to reveal distinct poetic landscapes that reflect their unique perspectives on nature, self, and identity. The results concluded that the contrasting yet complementary approaches of Mary Oliver and Louise Glück underscore the enduring significance of the natural world in poetry and its capacity to illuminate the complexities of the human experience. Their work serves as a testament to the endless possibilities of the poetic landscape and the vital role it continues to play in our collective understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.
