Life Of Hart Crane
1,349 wordsHart Crane was a poetic genius who was driven, and hampered, by his self-destructive personality. His alcoholism, sexual excesses and volatile behavior gave him the illusion of personal stability and lead to his greatest poems, but also brought his tragic doom. Crane's poems, though not always autobiographical, can be understood by looking at the occurrences in his turbulent life. Crane acted as his own worst enemy. The feeling, mood, style and form of Crane's poems mirrored his many mood swings...

Exchange Between Poem And Land
5,706 wordsNick Selby For the American poet Gary Snyder the poem is a work-place. The idea of work, I shall argue throughout this paper, is central to Snyder's ecological poetics because it allows him to throw explicit attention on to the act of 'writing the land'. This is clear from his well- known environmental concerns, and his work with various ecological projects in America since the sixties. Critics have thus tended to see his poetics as an assertion of the interconnectedness of all things that is bo...

James Wright
879 wordsThe James Wright Festival Part One After reading the poem entitled "Youth", I felt that James Wright was not only describing the life of his father but also the lives of the many other factory workers in the Ohio Valley. Many of these workers had either dropped out of school or went straight to the factories after high school, never really getting a chance to enjoy their lives as young adults. I think that has something to do with the title of this poem. It's clear that Wright knew his father an...

Ozymandias Works Ye Mighty And Despair Meaning
667 wordsPercy Bys she Shelley wrote this poem " Ozymandias' to express to us that possessions do not mean immortality. He used very strong imagery and irony to get his point across throughout the poem.

Otto Orban
786 wordsOtto Orban Otto Orban, who has died aged 66, was the leading Hungarian poet of his generation, but his influence extended well beyond the confines of literary and academic institutions. His passionate, funny and virtuosic poems combined the fully personal with the overtly political, and his barbed verses on Hungarian government pretensions were a source of irritation to those in power. They were, in effect, a kind of brilliant, vicious, Swift ian graffiti. Born in Budapest, Orban's earliest expe...

Duncan In His Poetics
1,588 wordsLet's begin with the thought that Duncan, in his poetics, embodies a series of paradoxes that at once reflect and reflect upon the antecedent poetics of what he called his "modernist masters".

I had come to know Duncan's work initially through Donald Allen's pathbreaking anthology, The New American Poetry, then through The Opening of the Fie...
