Analysis of Tony Harrison's Poems

Poetic Analysis of Tony Harrison After reading and analyzing three poems by Tony Harrison, I found that they portrayed many relationships among the three families. In all verses Harrison is the son who talks about the relationship between him and his father. The first poem is "book end".

Tony Harrison's poet Toni Harrison is almost certainly one of the most famous poets. He was born in Leeds in 1937 and brought up in a working-class family. Harrison is a modern poet, but he chose to use a traditional form of sonnet. He believed that rigid structure, rigid rhythm, and prosodic rules that seems to be limited to others are challenging for him. He also thinks that this is a control technology for expressing my emotions. Francesco Petrach began using Sonnets ... our life has no direction. Susan Collins hunger game and Kurt Vonnegt's "Harrison Belerger" show similar themes, that is, the desire for change in society; but the hunger game will win The oppressive government The motivation to win the desire to survive against control and the "Harrison Bergeron" to convey the hope of change did not resist fulfilling equality, but expressed the desire to change individual freedom.

As a freshmen of Leeds University, I learned Tony Harrison's poem. Harrison born in Leeds is educated in Leeds and most of his poems are full of cityscapes and sounds. When I was reading a school of eloquence with V, I went through Leeds' urban space and came across several poems I heard dialect every day. Harrison expressed his divorce feeling of the same working class, using his dull, dark manga sounds. Also, I was the first person in my family to attend college.

Tony Harrison's poem "long distance" conveys the emotional distress that his father feels after losing his wife. First, Harrison investigated the influence of his mother's death on his father. But the last section expresses the emotions and behavior of the poet himself and admits that they resemble his father. As she has already left, the title "long distance" of the poem can express his parents' relationship. His mother is in heaven and his father is on the earth, so this relationship is "long distance". His father may regard this distance as the distance he can easily cross. When we realized he was dead, he joined across his wife. Another explanation of the title may be that the relationship between his parents lasted for a long time. As a result, they traveled together as a "long distance" experience.
