    Discussing his long poem “Letter to Lord Byron,” W.H Auden comments that Byron is “the right [recipient for the poem], I think, because he was a townee … and disliked Wordsworth and all that kind of approach to nature, and I find that very sympathetic.” This interest in the urban world manifests itself throughout Auden’s poetry. In “Letter to Lord Byron,” for example, Auden describes “tramlines and slag heaps, pieces of machinery.” In “Stop all the clocks,” he lingers over an image of “aeroplanes [that] circle moaning overhead.” In “Dover,” he modernizes his picture of a Norman castle with the descriptor, “flood-lit at night,” and in “There is no Change of Place,” he describes how “metals run, / Burnished or rusty in the sun, / From town to town.” Filled with trains and factories, vacant lots and city streets, Auden’s poetry is grounded not in the more timeless pastoral landscapes of his Romantic and Georgian predecessors but rather in an industrialized world shaped and re-shaped by the works of man.…

    “Heartland” written by Linda Hogan has underlying messages a reader must carefully pay attention to in order to fully understand the poem. Hogan describes “City Poems” as her analysis of city life and how she appreciates it which can seem complex when reading her poem. She begins the poem describing how rare silence in the city can appear to people, constant traffic from vehicles and voices of people traveling the streets. Then she understands what the “city poems” other authors write about and how life in the city is constantly surrounded with common images related to city life such as yellow hard hats and beggars. I feel like Hogan feels a connection with city life and she has learned to appreciate it.…

    This is used to suggest that Chicago is a big city with many problems, but it proudly faces these problems and has many positive attributes that far out way them. Compared to other, smaller cities, Chicago is much more progressive, it is continuing to move forward despite adversity. Another example of figurative language is the use of a simile in line 23, when it is stated that Chicago is as “fierce as a dog.” This implies that Chicago is constantly active, always looking for more things to do and never backs down from adversity, but keeps trying to move forward. Throughout this poem, Chicago is also personified, it has shoulders, a heart, a pulse, and it laughs. The reason for this personification it to portray that the city is almost very human in that it is flawed and beautiful. The personification also helps to represent the true foundation of the city, which is every single person who works in it. One of the final figurative devise employed is metonym, which is used in the beginning end of the poem while listing a few various jobs such as “tool maker.” These singular jobs are uses to represent the workforce as a whole, and more importantly manual labor, which is a key part of Chicago, and the very back bone if our…

    In The Poem "Chicago", the poet Carl Sandburg uses personification, diction, and imagery to show his love and pride for his home city of Chicago. In the first stanza "HOG Butcher for the World, / Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, / Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler; / Stormy, husky, brawling, / City of the Big Shoulders:"(1-5), Sandburg uses personification to tell the reader how important his city is to the rest of the nation by listing the important jobs done there. The last two lines of the first stanza also allude to the power of Chicago. Another strong element used by Sandburg is diction. The words Sandburg uses to express his feelings about Chicago are powerful and emotional. Sanburg uses strong diction in the second stanza, "They tell me you are wicked.../And they tell me you are crooked.../And they tell me you are brutal"(6-8). In theses lines. Words like "brutal", "crooked", and "wicked" could have all easily been replaced with simpler less emotion evoking words like "bad", but Sandburg wants the reader to feel a stronger connection to the poem and to Chicago its self. Sandburg also uses imagery in this poem to convey his feelings for Chicago. "Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with / white teeth, (20).this is a power full image of someone who is dirty, maybe because of the hardships they have been through, yet is still smiling, happily and showing that they still have some clean untouched part of them selves left inside. Carl Sandburg uses Personification, imagery, and diction in "Chicago" to give people who doubt his city's strength his idea of…

    The relationship between literature and city is always more complicated and intimate than we think. From Troy in the Homeric Hymns, to Paris depicted by in The Mysteries of Paris by Eugène Sue, to London in Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, all these cities used their own unique, vivid urban features and culture connotation to inspire the authors. Also, these cities are vitalized by these authors as they are memorized along with these immortal literature masterpieces. In modern and postmodern literature, city itself has evolved from a location to a symbol and a metaphor within the poem, especially when we talk about New York City: the most vigorous area in the United States, that has nurtured the progressive growth of American urban literature,…

    When we read poems, we don’t exactly interpret the meaning of it automatically. It takes us a shot, or two, or three to fully understand the meaning of it or at least have your own interpretation. In the poem In a Station of the Metro, written by Ezra Pound, one of the themes that are presented is modernization. Nowadays, the metro isn’t the place where people want to be because of its lousy appearance, the people seem a little odd for others, and in other words people don’t like taking it because we all have the mentality that something bad will happen. In the next few paragraphs, it will explain detail by detail how certain literary elements are used and relate to the theme.…

    The Hungers of Life

    First off, the tones of the poems differ significantly. In “in the inner city”, the speaker’s tone is content and proud of his situation in life but critical of uptown. Twice he references the inner city as home, and in each case taking four lines to do so, emphasizing that the inner city is home (1-4, 11-15). He disparages uptown in the middle of the poem, saying that while thinking about uptown, images such as “silent nights,” “houses straight as dead men,” and “pastel lights” come to mind (6-8). The silent nights establish the idea of uptown being too quiet, and lacking in any vibrancy and personality. The speaker suggests here that there are never any parties or community activities as there would be in the inner city; the people in uptown don’t share a bond of camaraderie that those in the inner city would. The houses straight as dead men reflect the speaker’s opinion of uptown being devoid of any vitality, that even though there are people who live there, they lack creativity in their lives, settling for a lowly, dull way of life. The speaker criticizes uptown’s preference of a completely safe atmosphere rather than a vigorous but not as safe setting. He says that by accepting this sacrifice, the…
