Abstract
Humans and nature interconnectedness is a dynamic process. The extensive misuse of natural resources has left us in an uncontrolled situation. Ecological disasters are worsening our relationship with nature. Humans’ anthropocentric attitude to dominate nature needed to be relooked from biocentric lenses. Rediscovering our interconnectedness with nature will advance our ecological consciousness to bring equilibrium between humans and nature. This paper intends to examine “Tintern Abbey”, the famous poetry by William Wordsworth to raise awareness of the interconnectedness of humans and nature in people’s minds, through deep ecological perspectives.

Summary
The famous poem “Tintern Abbey” by William Wordsworth is a poem about the interconnection between poet and nature. He was deeply sublimed by the place and composed this poem. Ecocriticism studies the relationship between humans and the natural world in literature. Deep ecology is a biocentric environmental philosophy and social movement which emphasizes the inherent value of nature. It relooks the environmental perspective from a deep ecological perspective unlike anthropocentric, which interprets or regards the world in terms of human values and experiences. Its main originators are Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess, the American sociologist Bill Devall, and the American philosopher George Sessions
