“For a poem to coalesce, for a character or an action to take shape, there has to be an imaginative transformation of reality which is no way passive…Moreover, if the imagination is to transcend and transform experience it has to question, to challenge, to conceive of alternatives, perhaps to the very life you are living at that moment. You have to be free to play around with the notion that day might be night, love might be hate, nothing can be too sacred for the imagination to turn into its opposite or to call experimentally by another name. For writing is

Poetry is an art form that is rich in notional and semantic content. In a few stanzas, poems are so capable of painting an idea or event so vividly that it seems alive. However poetry, by itself, cannot exhibit qualities of life: they require a willingness to understand unfamiliar ways of describing a phenomenon. Thus poetry has been likened to a scrambled code that is impossible to decipher in its literal context. Thus, poetry requires a key to decipher it and the code, often, is metaphor.

In order to compare and contrast the different readings from this semester I want to start from the beginning. Gender is an achieved status in which is constructed through psychological, cultural, and social means (West 1987). Instead of solely depending on your biology, which is considered your sex, gender is performed in interactions. Almost every interaction that someone encounters is relevant to his or her gender. Gender can be the degree in which someone can describe himself or herself as masculine or feminine.

Due to its endless possibilities through the combination of words and images, visual poetry attracted poets and painters ever since. (Bohn, 2010 : 15)

For poetry to achieve cultural currency, in both senses of that term, it may have to find ways of reconciling the energies of romantic lyricism to overtly rhetorical ambitions and strategies.

Poetry is a compact language that expresses complex feelings. To understand the multiple meanings of a poem, researcher must analyze its words and phrasing from the perspectives of rhythm, sound, images, obvious meaning, and implied meaning.

Choose one every day and one literary text. Using at least two analytical techniques from E301, analyze and compare your two texts in terms of their creativity and literariness, drawing on material from both parts of the module.

What makes a poem intriguing? Writers have always developed new ways to make their own works of art more enticing to the reader, or audience member. One method is figurative language. Figurative language allows the writer to express his or her meaning in a deeper way. It allows the writer to effectively get their point across by giving the reader a mental picture or visual. One writer who conveys figurative language all throughout his plays is William Shakespeare. Although Shakespeare has hundred of playwrights, one in particular is Macbeth. Throughout Macbeth there are hundreds of different uses of figurative language, used to convey different themes. One theme in particular is natural vs. unnatural. The play Macbeth shows continuous examples of the theme natural vs. unnatural, which depicts the disruptions to the natural world.

“Here, the lofty and highly much praised artistic achievement of Attic tragedy and the dramatic dithyramb presents itself before our eyes, as the common goal of both artistic drives, whose secret marriage partnership, after a long antecedent struggle, celebrated itself with such a child, simultaneously Antigone and Cassandra.” (Friedrich Nietzsche on the relationship between the Apollnian and Dionysian) How do both reason and imagination shape poetry?
