Writers Say
“The natural language of all worship” “devil’s wine” “an imitation of imitation” “painting that speaks” “a criticism of life” “a way of taking life by the throat” “an escape from emotion” “the antithesis of science”

Writers Say “Poems are not language, but the content
of the language” (Mary Oliver). “It is a kind of possible love affair between
something like the heart (that courageous but also shy factor of emotion) and the learned skills of the conscious mind” (Mary Oliver).
“Poetry is a river; many voices travel in it; poem after poem moves along in the exciting crests and falls of the river waves” (Mary Oliver).

Writers Say “Poetry is memorable speech” (W.H.
Auden). “Poems obey no rules and serve no
single purpose; rather they adapt to the distinct needs of specific times and individual poets… Any definition we formulate precludes others and imprisons us prematurely in a partial understanding of poetry” (Carol Burke and Molly Best Tinsley).

How will we do these things? Read and discuss examples. Try to write our own. Use strategies the pros use. Stretch ourselves using all sorts of
prompts. Practice in our journals.

Mystery #1
How do poets add multiple layers of meaning to their poems?
![Page 21: Cw poetry spring12](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052505/55563c22d8b42a8d0f8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Denotation & Connotation The literal meaning
of a word. What the dictionary
says.
The implied meaning of a word.
A result of emotional ties to the word.
May initially be hidden.
![Page 22: Cw poetry spring12](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052505/55563c22d8b42a8d0f8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The man drank whiskey quietly.
Denotation Connotation
A guy drank whiskey and didn’t make much noise.
The word "quietly," in association with alcohol, seems to mean "alone.“
Intensifying this feeling is the fact that "the man" is anonymous to the reader (he isn't "Jack"), and he is drinking whiskey.

Let’s Practice.

Connotation
“Poets gravitate toward words with strong connotative possibilities because they are so rich with connotative possibility, like leaves falling in autumn (graceful and beautiful, but signifying a kind of death)” (virtuaLit).
