This paper is the study on the relating aspect of ecological poetry and Christianity in the rapidly changing society. That attracting our concern at the mark of the 21st century, is the progresses produced by technological civilization like information communication revolution, expansion of cyber world, and genetic engineering. However, we can not sure how present technological civilization would enrich our existence, or if current circumstances helpless to their power are really reliable or not. This crisis is not limited to that biological one due to environmental pollution such as water, atmosphere and air as the origin of all creature. Man initiation this contamination has caused his mental and spiritual catastrophe.
Under this condition, the campaign of ecological poetry is presented as a survival issue in the reality, not as a sentimental one. Since environmental ruin and crisis of survival crisis already surpasses its danger limit. Thus ecological poetry needs factual complaint and witness of the local scene of environmental destruction and crisis. That is, the institution should be changed from man focused to life focused, environmental destruction to friendliness, materialism to spiritual equilibrium, rationality focused to its harmony with sentiment, and scientific knowledge and understanding of ecology should be preceded, and the philosophical view of nature to life awareness should be fundamentally changed.
In the end, the task of ecological literature needs diverse work to change this integrated conversion. So it should be recognized that only conventional literary genre giving shape ti realistic topics through imaginary forms should not be insisted, and for doing so, a new one to collapse exclusive borders with philosophy and tolerate it should be sought.
