Explanation:

In the poem "A Man Said to the Universe" by Stephen Crane there is a clear example of naturalism.

Naturalism is a literary genre in which the universe or nature is shown as the total owner of everything. The universe determines and rules over human life, and downplays it.

In this poem, a man tries to get the attention of the Universe and the Universe knowledges the man's existence, but it seems not to care about how insignificant it is.
