Mentor text: Denis Levertov. “Making Piece”. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53900/making-peace
- In my poem there are stanzas and not poems making the poem itself short.
- There is imagery used in my poem for example the poem states āA voice from the dark called out, The poets must give us imagination of peace, to oust the intense, familiar imagination of disaster.ā
- The poem āMaking Peaceā written by Denise Levertov is written in the first person.
- The tone and purpose of āMaking Peaceā Is how peace is longed for in a world of darkness.
- āBut peace, like a poem, is not there ahead of itself, canāt be imagined before it is made, canāt be known except in the words of its making, grammar of justice, syntax of mutual aid.ā I believe this quote is effective for the purpose of the poem because it shows that peace needs to be made and isnāt just gonna happen within darkness.Ā
- This poem is organized by stanzas focused on peace as a need how they can obtain it and what they can do to live it.
