Letters from Yorkshire - Maura Dooley
- Maura Dooley
- autobiographical inspired by letters from friend
- used to live in Yorkshire
- contrast of modern electronic to natural life
- ' In February, digging his
garden, planting potatoes,/
he saw the first lapwings
return and came/ indoors to
write to me, his knuckles
singing'
- Enjambement throughout
gives verse free flow like
her correspondents' life
flowing effortlessly to her.
- alliteration, cycle of
seasons, continuity
- ' me with my heartful of headlines/
feeding words into a blank screen./ Is
your life more real because you dig
and sow?'
- alliteration link , lifeless
contrast, bland in comparison
from 'reddened' 'warmth'
'singing' to 'blank'
- 'Still, it's you/ who sends me word of
the other world/ pouring air and light
into an envelope.'
- lives in
Yorkshire
through
him,
vicariously
