Q
In Amy Lowell’s imagist poem, “This Green Bowl,” a handmade bowl is compared to a pond in the woods. Can one say that, as in Pound’s “Cantos,” this poem’s dominant tone is impersonal? Why, or why not ?
AA. Yes, lowell’s detailed description of nature draws attention away from human realities.
BB. Yes, the lyrical voice in lowell’s poem seeks to express universal rather than individual experience.
CC. No, lowell’s poem is not impersonal; it addresses the maker of the bowl directly and speculates about his state of mind.
DD. No, even though lowell strives for impersonal expression by borrowing poetic devices from pound, she fails to accomplish this
Correct Answer:
C. C. No, lowell’s poem is not impersonal; it addresses the maker of the bowl directly and speculates about his state of mind.
