Poetry as Imitation of Reality: These poets’ creative use of language to invoke truths
by evoking a feeling, memory or image to the reader’s conscious mind

● The features of Good Poetry is ○ Economy of Language ■ Lexis (Diction, Wordplay) ■ Phonology (Consonance, Assonance, Rhymes) ■ Syntax ○ Figurative Language ■ Simile, Metaphor, Personification, Motif and Symbolism ■ Imagery: Visual, Auditory, Olfactory, Tactile and Kinesthetic


Intentional fallacy A term used in 20th-century literary criticism to describe the erroneous belief that the meaning of an artwork is limited by the intent or purpose of the artist who created it.

Intentional fallacy fallacy
The erroneous belief that the international fallacy is to believe intention relevant, and the concomitant belief that it shouldn’t be considered
Poetic history over the past two centuries can in fact be characterised as a struggle for poetic legitimacy carried out wither by individuals or by small and elite groups of writers who engage in a succession of successful or abortive revolutions. -Christopher Beach, “Poetic Culture”

The dual obligations of poets 1. To honour the heritage 2. To bring something new to the table

Oppositional Poetries
According to Hank Lazer, it is defined as the “Varieties of ethnopoetics, oral and performance poetries, and feminist poetries that share one intention: to critique and contest assumptions and practices of more mainstream poetries.”

CONCRETE AND ABSTRACT


Form: How the poem is presented on a page Stanza and line breaks Syntax: the ordering of words into meaningful verbal patterns: phrases, clauses, and sentences. Diction: choice of words


Abstract: The language we use

to describe qualities that cannot be perceived by our five senses.


Concrete: vivid descriptions to

communicate concepts and scenes with sensory language

POETIC DEVICES (VISUAL)


Imagery Visual, Olfactory, Auditory, Gustatory, Tactile, Kinesthetic and Organic

Symbolism Beyond the literal meaning

Simile and Metaphor

Comparison

The Others Personification, Allusion, Extended Metaphor etc.


EKPHRASIS Adjective: ecphrastic. Etymology: From the Greek, "speak out" or "proclaim" A rhetorical and poetic figure of speech A visual object (often a work of art) is vividly described in words.

SOUND AND SILENCE

Sound and Silence: to write poetry means to foster the following sensibilities: linguistic, visual, and musical


Sonic devices

- Refrains & Alliteration

- Consonance - Assonance - Rhymes - Rhythm & Meter


Sonic Qualities

- Euphony vs Cacophony - Fluidity, harmony - Friction, disharmony


Punctuation

Space is silence Breathing: inhale and exhale.


Voice and Tone

The sum of all: lexis, phonology, syntax, and figurative language. The mood Rooted in orality


samples: Hieu Minh Nguyen's Staying Quiet, Gertrude Stein's Susie Asado, Edgar Allen Poe 's The Bells


The act of reading a poem out loud

THE WORDS

Read the title. Read the words, the lines, the stanzas. Create patterns in your head. Notice the use of punctuations and the arrangement of spaces. The look of the letters.

THE IMAGES See the images in your head. The sensory experience. The use of motif and symbolism. Create a picture that is moving, like a short film or a montage, in your head.

THE SOUNDS Is there resistance? Why so? What does it sound like? How does the body and the mind respond to the sounds? What voice do you hear in your head? How does the voice feel?



LINES AND SPACE

Line:

Line breaks End-stopped Enjambment Caesura


SPace: margins


Others:

Length of lines Placement of words Punctuations Typeface & font size Graphics

Religion will be focusing on the fulfillment of  West is individualised, religion is primed to bring people back into communities and nurture that spirit of caring for each other and moving forward together to a collectively higher purpose. CHRISTIANITY: This is not a religion, this is a personal relationship with Jesus.  Hold out for a saviour who returns your texts, and not someone who has holy ghosted you. But he always answers prayers, it’s just that the answer is sometimes no. This seems more like a one-sided relationship that the imagined person, if he exists, doesn’t seem aware of? This is not so different from the phenomenon in modern celebrity culture— a parasocial relatio...
