Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm reading this terrible terrible terrible book on Cummings , and do any of you know how to explain this? Please put it in more simpler terms for me to understand! In his use of space, Cummings applies the devotion of virtuoso, stanzaic divisions, line breakage, word relationships, and parentheses are varied for indication of auditory rhymes. It means Cummings uses his VIRTUOSO "special knowledge", STANZAIC DIVISIONS "a group of lines forming the basic recurring metrical unit of a poem", BREAKAGE "where a line is broken", WORD RELATIONSHIPS "using words that relate to each other" and his parentheses vary so that one can recite rhymes. Hope I have explained it for you. In order for someone to understand the voice and writing of an individual, one must speak correctly and write well for their poetry to be understood. |
