Poetic Analysis

This page is intended to present details about my Poetic Analysis. 

My class’ prompt for this essay was to analyze a specific poem’s from Poetry and Politics” from the Poetry Society of America Conference (2000) or from Erica Hunt’s A Local History, in order to “respond to some of the points discussed at the conference. Be sure to use literary terminology from both topic and composition courses, and explain the significance of your connection to this work. The analysis should speak to both form and content, as well identify some of the theories Hunt critiques in her work. Use quotations from the text to support your analysis.”

In my essay, I had used analyzed Erica Hunt’s poem called  Gloss (a catalog of feeling) by paying specific attention to her poem format. While also paying attention to how Hunt had resented irony and paradox within the format of a list and definition poem.


Final Work Preview:

“Hunt had managed to tell the audience that the subject wrote the exact of opposite of what she wanted to say due to the social norms that restricted her from acting the way she wanted to even in a romantic relationship. Hunt was able to build the idea in her poem that social norms are forms of shackles to people. They stop them from reflecting their personality due to societies ideas of what’s right and wrong.”
