Indian Writing in English- Nissim Ezekiel

But these are not closed worlds. They assert that they are creating history and reflecting upon it. Boland is always prepared to take the risk any woman poet takes when she writes of gardens, children, marriage, a black lace fan, a stock-pot ... the risk of being belittled, or gently patronised for her ‘domestic preoccupations.

Within this passage the central idea of “beauty” is developed by Crommelynck’s explanation of beauty and its application to art, and more specifically, poetry. Crommelynck’s description of the beauty develops the idea because it gives an understanding of how wide the scope is for something to be beautiful. She also explains that beauty cannot be created and how it instead resides in something which ties in with her view on truth in art. She believes that if an art form is truthful then beauty can reside in it. This develops on the concept of what beauty

Poetry is often regarded the genre of the elite, but just as often champions are oppressed. Discuss with a detailed reference to two or more poems.

In today's modern world, the use of poetry to communicate and express oneself has become quite rare. One of the main reasons is due to the fact that with such an old style of writing, it is very often hard to understand properly. poetry is indeed difficult to read and hard to understand, but given time, it is a rewarding challenge. Poetry is not only written verse but is used in songs as well. Taken the time to listen to the words of modern songs, you will realise that the lyrics of the song are actually a poem linking modern day music to poetry.

The poems “Introduction to Poetry”, “Poem”, “Poetry Should Ride the Bus”, “How Poetry comes to me”, “How I Discovered Poetry”, and “Making It in Poetry”. These poems express their author’s thoughts on poetry beautifully. Each author gives their own interpretation of what poetry is to them. However, each poem carries small differences and similarities. At the end, each poem has taught its readers a new meaning of poetry.

Good poets inspire and motivate us. Poetry seeks to express truths through its diversity and significance cultural ideologies. To all year 12 English teachers at Brisbane School of Distance Education, today I am here to discuss and illustrate to you the values of two poems that are worthy of study in the Senior English poetry course. While the 21st century is certainly challenging for the Youth of today, many remain sheltered from the hefty and challenging themes and ideologies that poets are more than willing to tackle. The destruction and futility of war and lost youth are ideologies present in the Modern Era and a study of these poems provides opportunities to promote understanding and empathy. The chosen poems expose students to a range

He says, “Despite all the books I read, I’m still surprised I became a writer” (1998, p. 3). He transitioned his love for reading into a career of making works that others can enjoy. He uses his time devoted to teaching Indian children the art of creative writing. Harkening back to his childhood, he was never taught to write poetry, short stories, and novels (Alexie, 1998, p. 3). He wants them to experience the joy of putting pen to paper and creating something, anything that may be enjoyed. He goes on to say, “Books…Books…I am

Poetry has a role in society, not only to serve as part of the aesthetics or of the arts. It also gives us a view of what the society is in the context of when it was written and what the author is trying to express through words. The words as a tool in poetry may seem ordinary when used in ordinary circumstance. Yet, these words can hold more emotion and thought, however brief it was presented.

In today’s modern view, poetry has become more than just paragraphs that rhyme at the end of each sentence. If the reader has an open mind and the ability to read in between the lines, they discover more than they have bargained for. Some poems might have stories of suffering or abuse, while others contain happy times and great joy. Regardless of what the poems contains, all poems display an expression. That very moment when the writer begins his mental journey with that pen and paper is where all feelings are let out. As poetry is continues to be written, the reader begins to see patterns within each poem. On the other hand, poems have nothing at all in common with one another. A good example of this is in two poems by a famous writer by

In Letters to a Young Poet, “Letter One” has very similar ideas and thoughts to the excerpts from Black Swan Green, “Hangman” and “Solarium”. In “Letter One” by Rainer Rilke, the central idea is that beauty is already in poetry but the author inputs his or her own flare to the already beautiful work. Rilke also explains that criticism does not make the rough edges round, because those rough edges make the piece literature unique. The ideas in “Hangman” and “Solarium” are similar but different. David Mitchell’s version of beauty in poetry is that the words the author chooses add beauty, but if all the words are beautiful that makes the beauty normal. In “Letter One”, “Solarium” and “Hangman”, there are similar yet different central ideas about beauty and its impact in poetry.

Though not named, the writer, Byron seeks to captivate the essence of a mysterious woman’s beauty through his almost fairy-tale description of her. Written in the 1700s at a time when women were expected to be delicate and assume the role of puppets for their puppeteer men, the woman was juxtaposed between conventional and unconventional norms of beauty. The first line is one such example of him describing her beauty in unconventional terms. ‘She walks in beauty, like the night’ Night is not normally described as being beautiful; writers usually attribute adjectives such as scary, dark, lonely and cold to night. Hence, from the beginning, Byron grabbed the reader’s attention by letting his audience know that this beauty was not just the usual
