Throughout my study of Mahon’s poetry‚ I was struck by how important explorations of people and places were to him. His poetic style can be considered quite detached as he rarely divulges personal details or experiences. Instead‚ his poetry focuses on detailed portraits of memorable characters and insightful analyses of a wide variety of landscapes. “After the Titanic” is another of Mahon’s poems that paints a portrait of an unexpected figure. Here‚ Mahon adopts the persona of Bruce Ismay‚ President

Derek and Danny Vinyard‚ brothers‚looked up to the wrong people. A very right-winged man managed to twist their thoughts and did the same thing to them that Hitler did to the masses. They and their fellows are feeling as a part of a community that is exploited by people who do not have the right to do so: Illegal immigrants‚ the Black‚ the Yellow and all the others who use their minority position to extract rights over the Whites from it - or so they are convinced. So‚ hatred against the "others"

I agree with this assessment of Bishop’s poetry. Her poems on the syllabus certainly pose interesting questions about identity‚ awareness and one’s place in the world‚ indeed the universe‚ and they do so by means of a unique style. This style is influenced by Bishop’s acute awareness of the poet’s craft and her ability to work with both traditional forms (sestina and sonnet‚ for instance) and free verse. The questions that interested me most are those posed in ‘Questions of Travel’. These fascinated

The fossil records beautifully preserved

Mahon writes about a broad array of themes in a variety of tones.In his poems his language is used sparingly but effectively
