Craft Analysis of Web Conjunctions
It takes a few things to create a good literary magazine. It takes a large group of people from all ends of the market. It goes without saying that you need a selection of talented writers. People who are skilled marketers and advertisers will draw public attention to the magazines. This is extremely important do to the fact most of these magazines are online and are open to the public world of the internet. Editors to decide who will make the final cut into the magazine as well correct the minor errors along the way. All of these things and a group of interested readers are the recipe for a successful literary magazine such as Web Conjunctions.
Web Conjunctions is an online literary magazine (www.conjunctions.com) From this magazine I read a various amount of poetry including the set “Three Poems by Brandon Kreitler.” “Self-Portrait as the Speech of the Mime” was the first listed and I found it to be a bit off from my personal taste but all in all a good piece of work for its use of verse and the idea of what it may be like to be a mime. However the idea of poetry is adding clarity to complex emotions in an artistic manner. This poem did not accomplish that. “Cloture on the Reinstatement of Day” is enjoyable for any fan of poetry. Good stanzas and descriptive words that have good sounds to them. My personal favorite “Acts” Is the last of Brandon Kreitlers set of poems. The main reason I like this poem so much is because it is different from all his other writing. This poem not only has descriptive words that paint a picture but the writing style of the stanzas and use of line breaking is unique and adds suspense and dramatic effect to the story the poem tells. It is very helpful to the authors’ case. I found it surprising that the poems were all so different and then it occurred to me that authors of this magazine are all different from one another and that any fan of fiction or poetry can find something they like on

    Eyewitness testimonies are considered unreliable and were neglected for helping gather evidence in Steven Truscotts case. There are two witnesses that provided evidence that indicates that a car could have been present where Lynn Harper was rapped. George Edens found Lynn Haper's body and said you could see car skid marks. Bob Lawson said he saw a car parked near spot but he had never seen a car there before. This all corresponds with Steven Truscotts statement that he left Lynn Harper near highway 8 and saw her get into a car.

    Poets use imagery to capture the emotion and feeling in the poem in which they are writing. Judith Minty, in her poem “Conjoined,” uses imagery to truly depict the meaning and emphasis of that work. Through the images that Minty paints in the minds of her readers, the essence of the poem is revealed. One can strongly see and feel the emotion that this poem possesses. The images are distinct and bold, and through the first, second, and third stanza, the images can be easily seen and identified. The poem “Conjoined” is not a pleasant poem, but it speaks of great truth for the situation in which it describes.…

    The most effective poems convey the poet’s idea and influence the Reader’s Response. This is certainly true when considering the poetry of John Foulcher is a contemporary Australian poet who writes about his observation of everyday life, people and places, as well as religious history. The poet’s voice is distinctive and he writes in a condensed style where each word and image is very important and has layers of meaning. He also often uses very harsh and violent imagery in his poems, which can be very shocking to the reader. Foulcher uses a range of techniques in his poems to communicate meaning, including similes, metaphors, personification and onomatopoeia. The poems that will be discussed in this essay are Martin and the Hand Grenade and Summer Rain…

    I remember when I first experienced goosebumps raise on my arms and send a shiver through my body, simply because the words leaving the speaker's lips left such an imprint on me. I didn’t think that a simple sentence could bring tears to my eyes, could cause me to react in any physical way. I didn’t even know the author. Yet, it still amazes me anytime I react to such a poem. The emotions that the author pours into every word and every syllable is astounding. Each pause and breath tell a story on their own. I knew that I had to try. I wanted to make people feel the way like I did when I first heard them, but because it was my words that made them react.…

    Galway Kinnell Analysis

    • 599 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In many parts of his poem he strings lines together without using conjunctions. This is important because it makes the poem that much less cumbersome not having to read those conjunctions. For example, this line reads much smoother and is much easier to speak without conjunctions: “and as I stand among them/lifting the stalks to my mouth, the ripest berries/fall almost unbidden to my tongue, as words sometimes do.” This line flows much more smoothly without the conjunctions than it would if they were added in. This, once again, shows the reader how the words can just roll off the tongue, which is exactly what Kinnell is trying to say. Therefore, Kinnell’s use of rhythm, consonance, and his lack of conjunctions all make this poem a perfect example of how words can simply come to a person, like the blackberries he so carefully plucks off the…

    Arguably the most popular poet in America, Billy Collins provides readers with two types of poetry that is nothing like typical poetry. One of his unique styles is writing as if the poem could be read like a novel. The other type brings humor and whimsy to his work, yet he hints at a seriousness that lies beneath the surface. Both styles of poetry are easy to read, but take a second look to realize what the Collins is intending the reader to understand. Billy Collins is an exceptionally talented poet whose writing at first can be taken to be a simple comedy but when read more carefully, it can be interpreted as a far more complex script. First readings of the poems I Chop Some Parsley While Listening To Art Blakey's Version Of Three Blind Mice, Victorias Secret, and Shoveling Snow with Buddha might convince the reader that Collins is offering poems that are clever yet easy to read and understand. A quick reading of Collins poems shows a similarity of his witty style, although the subject matter of each is different.First glance readings of these poems might lead readers to the following interpretations. A man wasting his time flipping through the pages of a Victorias Secret magazine. A man shoveling snow from a driveway with Buddha. Lastly, a man daydreaming about the childrens rhyme Three Blind Mice. However, if these poems are read more carefully they reveal a hidden richness in their meanings. In the first reading of the poem Victorias Secret, the narrator is flipping through the pages of a lingerie magazine. He describes the outfits of the eight models in great detail. For example, wearing a deeply scalloped / flame-stitched halter top / with padded push-up styling / and easy side-zip tap pants. Also, the narrator evaluates the mood of each model by the expression on her face. For instance, looks at me over her bare shoulder, / cannot hide the shadow of annoyance in her brow. None of the models in the photographs seem to like narrator looking at…

    During the time in American history known as the romantic period, two poets began to stray from the traditional methods of writing poetry. These poets were Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. These two poets led different lifestyles. Oddly enough, there writing was very similar besides having different lengths. “Whitman 's poem "Song of Myself, No.6" and Dickinson 's poem "This quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies" are examples of pieces which, on the surface, appear completely different, but in fact contain several similarities. Indeed, several similarities and differences can be found between these two poems”.…

    Jeffrey Nealon and Susan S. Giroux, the writers of the Theory Toolbox, state that ideology is a “false consciousness”; an inability to see real conditions because they are masked by false ideas. Governments typically use ideology to control the public and make them think they need their government to survive. However, in the 2010 Disney story, Tangled, this “false consciousness” takes place by only one person for only one person.…
