How Poems Arrive

       The author, Anne Stevenson is communicating through this poem, the concept and ideas behind poems and how they come to be. Throughout it she explains the different type of feelings and emotions they express while amplifying feelings of the writer themselves. When Stevenson writes “Sporting with vowels, or showing off a chain of silver els and ms to host displays”, she references the different ways poems are written and how they can form images or displays for readers. She continues to speak on the overall feeling that’s left with the reader while reading and finishing the poem.
