The Art of Poetry: How to Read A Poem

The Art of Poetry: How to Read A Poem

By: Shira Wolosky

Poetry can be many things. Poetry can be philosophical, or emotional, or sentimental. It can paint pictures, in a descriptive mode, or tell stories, in a narrative one. Poetry can also be satirical, or funny, or political, or just informative. Yet none of these activities is specific to poetry, or reveals how poetry differs from other kinds of writing or speaking. A definition that underscores what makes poetry distinctive might be: poetry is language in which every component element word and word order, sound and pause, image and echo is significant, significant in that every element points toward or stands for further relationships among and beyond themselves. Poetry is language that always means more. Its elements are figures, and poetry itself is a language of figures. [download]
