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 ā€œA 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 ā€œMaking Peaceā€ written by Denise Levertov is written in the first person.
  • The tone and purpose of ā€œMaking Peaceā€ Is how peace is longed for in a world of darkness.
  • ā€œBut peace, like a poem, is not there ahead of itself, canā€™t be imagined before it is made, canā€™t 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 isnā€™t 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.
