Power and Conflict Poetry Anthologyexploration focusing on psychological struggles... Show more
This page delves deeper into the Power and Conflict poems, focusing on "Exposure" by Wilfred Owen and "Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
"Exposure" by Wilfred Owen is presented as a powerful critique of trench warfare. Owen's intentions are explored, highlighting how he exposed the horrors of war and campaigned for its end.
Quote: "Our brains ache in the merciless iced east winds that knive us" - This vivid imagery from "Exposure" illustrates the harsh conditions soldiers faced.
The structure of "Exposure" is analyzed, noting how its regular stanzas represent the monotony of war, while the repeated refrain "but nothing happens" serves as a political statement against the war's futility.
"Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Lord Tennyson is contrasted with "Exposure," showing how it commemorates and honors soldiers while also exposing poor leadership decisions.
Highlight: Tennyson's poem was inspired by the first media war where correspondents reported from the front line, leading to sensationalized stories.
The structure of "Charge of the Light Brigade" is examined, noting how its six stanzas represent the 600 soldiers and its rhythm mimics galloping horses.
Comparative analysis is provided, showing how these poems can be linked to others in the anthology. For example, both "Charge of the Light Brigade" and "Bayonet Charge" depict the chaotic action of battle, but with contrasting tones.
Definition: Caesura - a pause or break in a line of poetry, often used for emphasis or to represent a shift in thought.
This page introduces two poems that explore the broader impacts of conflict beyond the immediate battlefield: "Kamikaze" by Judith Garland and "The Emigree" by Carol Rumens.
"Kamikaze" is described as a narrative poem that links a daughter's imagination of her father's thoughts to her retelling of the story to her children. This structure allows for an exploration of generational impacts of war and cultural expectations.
Quote: "Her father embarked at sunrise / A shaven head full of powerful incantations" - This opening from "Kamikaze" sets the scene and cultural context.
"The Emigree" is introduced, though details are limited in the provided transcript. This poem likely deals with themes of displacement and the lasting effects of conflict on individuals forced to leave their homes.
The page hints at how these poems expand the anthology's scope, moving beyond direct experiences of warfare to examine its ripple effects through families and across borders.
Highlight: These poems demonstrate how the Power and Conflict Poetry Anthology explores not just the immediate experiences of war, but also its long-term psychological and societal impacts.
By including poems like "Kamikaze" and "The Emigree," the anthology provides a more comprehensive view of conflict, encompassing cultural, familial, and personal dimensions of war's aftermath.
Page 3: The Wider Impact of Conflict
Analysis focuses on cultural and societal impacts of war through Kamikaze and The Emigree, examining themes of honor, shame, and displacement.
Quote: "Gradually we too learned to be silent" - reflects generational impact of war trauma.
Example: The Bushido code's influence on Japanese society demonstrates how cultural values shape warfare experiences.
Highlight: Both poems explore the lasting effects of conflict on families and communities.
This page introduces key poems from the Power and Conflict Poetry Anthology, focusing on the psychological struggles and personal experiences of soldiers in war.
The poems "Bayonet Charge" by Ted Hughes and "Remains" by Simon Armitage are highlighted as comparative works that depict the difficult psychological struggles of soldiers. Both poems end with these struggles unresolved, emphasizing the lasting impact of war on the human psyche.
Highlight: Both "Bayonet Charge" and "Remains" present difficult psychological struggles of soldiers, ending with these struggles unresolved.
Key quotes from each poem are provided, offering insight into the vivid imagery and emotional depth of the works. For example, from "Bayonet Charge": "Suddenly he awoke and was running" and "His terror's touchy dynamite."
The writers' intentions are explored, revealing how Hughes challenges the justification for war by focusing on negative individual experiences, while Armitage exposes the suffering caused by warfare through a real soldier's story.
Example: Hughes uses nature to lionize the violence required to survive battle, as seen in the line "Threw up a yellow hare that rolled like a flame."
The structure and form of each poem are analyzed, noting how they contribute to the overall impact. For instance, "Bayonet Charge" begins in media res to give a sense of speed, while "Remains" uses a fragmented structure to represent chaotic memories.
Vocabulary: Media res - a narrative technique that starts a story in the middle of the action.
