Document Summary

Piece of life: mourning, waking energy from sleep. Questioning the conscious part of me that we leave behind when we awake. Uses enjambment, imagery, uses merman as a symbol, part man part monster = myth. Voice: speaker , distinguished from the poet, point of view , 1st person i or we , 2nd person you , 3rd person he/she or they , pronouns (agents) In merman, initially in 3rd person and then it switches to 1st person: self conscious, i am looking at self as split being, core point is the turn in the middle. In class we look at two interrelated though very different traditions of poetry: free verse. Do not rhyme in any regular way. Theoretical appeal is that it admits an element of chance. Invented by poets brought up on rhyme and counted verse: metrical verse (or poems in counted lines) Pays special attention to metrical lines, metrical patterns, rhymes and stanza forms.
