(E. E. Cummings, 73 Poems)
Introduction
Stylistic is very different from studying literature. That is why it is really difficult to do a stylistic analysis than to do a literary analysis. Because when doing a literary analysis, you just focus on the elements of the story and the theory being used. It is totally different when doing a Stylistic analysis, which you should always be based on facts. That is why doing a stylistic analysis is really factual and complicated. In doing a stylistic analysis, we try to explain how the words in the text create feelings and meanings. I will be analyzing the 73 poems of E.E. Cummings. I will show you the stylistic features of the poem. Edward Estlin Cummings was born October 14, 1894 in the town of Cambridge Massachusetts. His father, and most constant source of awe, Edward Cummings, was a professor of Sociology and Political Science at Harvard University. In 1900, Edward left Harvard to become the ordained minister of the South Congregational Church, in Boston. As a child, E.E. attended Cambridge public schools and lived during the summer with his family

    “Slaveship,” by Lucille Clifton, is a free verse poem from the perspective of slaves that the white men capture and trade in the slave trade, forcing them to travel on the Middle Passage. Ironically, the ships bear the names of religious symbols and figures such as Jesus, Angel of God, and Grace of God (lines 14-15) even though the act of slavery is one of the most sinful systems in the eyes of these slaves and in the eyes of all decent human beings.…

    Harvard University awarded him a seat as a guest professor in 1952. All Cummings lectures about Charles Eliot Norton he gave in 1952 -1955 were collected and put in the university. Later the University published all 6 of them. Cummings continued to teach at Harvard University. On September 3, 1962 Cummings had a stroke which killed him at age 67. He had his stroke while he was in the North Conway, New Hampshire memorial Hospital. Cummings was cremated and was shipped to Boston to be buried in Forest Hill Cemetery. All Cummings papers can be found at the Houghton library in Harvard University and Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas in Austin. Cummings is a very great writer and painter. I have learned a little here and a little there for him and when I write or when I can't think of anything to write I just look at one of his poems and all his collection ideas. If I had to write or if I had to refer someone to a poet I would point them to E E Cummings. Cummings was a big influence on my life and my…

    Take a minute to imagine “Men looking like they had been/attacked repeatedly by a succession /of wild animals,” “never/ ending blasted field of corpses,” and “throats half gone, /eyes bleeding, raw meat heaped/ in piles.” These are the vividly, grotesque images Edward Mayes describes to readers in his poem, “University of Iowa Hospital, 1976.” Before even reading the poem, the title gave me a preconceived idea of what the poem might be about. “University of Iowa Hospital, 1976” describes what an extreme version of what I expected the poem to be about. The images I described above are just some of the horrifying scenes described by Mayes. This poem spoke to me about the pain and suffering patients endure while staying in a hospital (whether it be a mental hospital or a medical hospital) and the horrific images the staff see daily. Mayes uses several types of imagery and literary tropes in his poem to give readers an intense visual sensation as they read his poem. The visuals Mayes placed in my own mind while I read this poem were intensely real and stuck with me long after I studied the poem.…

    My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: ' Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thy happiness,—- That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees, In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease. O for a draught of vintage, that hath been Cooled a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provencal song, and sun-burnt mirth!…

    Stylistics is a branch of applied linguistics concerned with the study of style in texts. Before 20th century stylistics deals only with literary texts. But from 20th century, it started to deal with none literary texts. For instance: religion, low, advertisements, newspapers, etc. Katie Wales in A Dictionary of Stylistics writes " The goal of most stylistics is not simply to describe the formal features of texts for their own sake but in order to show their interpretation of the text, or to relate literary effects to linguistics causes where there are felt to be relevant". Stylistic analysis provides a commentary which is objective and scientific based on a concrete quantifiable data and applied in a systematic way. It uses specialized technical terms and concepts which derive from the science of linguistics. Stylistics analysis is different…
