DISCUSS SLESSORS USE OF TIME AND OUT OF TIME IN HIS POETRY Slessor’s compact oeuvre details his struggle with time. However‚ his longing to be out of time merely highlights the supremacy of time over human life and nature. Slessor utilises familiar elements in an attempt to gain a better understanding of what he cannot comprehend.

The second poem I revised also had a change to the title‚ but the change was minor. The formerly named “Dilemma at 12:30” is now “Dilemma at Noon”.

breathes our air‚ my love‚ I warned you‚ and now your worry has revealed my truth.’ This poem is written in the form of a folk ballad in which a husband and wife engage in dialogue with a conversational tone‚ where it is revealed that the wife has killed their only son Edward. It is written in direct speech with two speakers. The effect I have aimed to create with this form is to distance the reader from any attachment or emotion towards the speakers in the same way that there is no connection
