In the poem‚ "Storm Warnings" the organization is very important to the fluency of the poem. In the very first line the reader starts to get a feeling of the literal meaning of the work.

THE HISTORY OF CYBORG BODY POLITICS The cyborg is a ubiquitous metaphor for the hybridization of humans and technologies. However‚ there is no single authentic type of cyborg. As Chris Hables Gray made clear in The Cyborg Handbook (1995) rigid categorisation of the cyborg has been problematic in view of the proliferation of multiple‚ miscellaneous cyborg forms.

Mina Loy and Futurism Mina Loy‚ a futurist and modernist poet‚ uses graphic and uncensored depictions to portray art as a violent force. I believe from the excerpt of poems read in class from Loy’s book The Lost Lunar Baedeker‚ she conceptualizes art in her poems through futuristic themes of speed‚ violence‚ rejection of the past‚ and urban scenes. Her poems are an insight into the modernist movement and a revolt against traditional views that embrace a new prospective on the importance of art during
