The Forge
Creative Process
Analogy for writing poems - different aspects of forge work as metaphors
blacksmith- scraps of metal into beautiful shapes, poetry impose order to ideas and words
Celebration of the blacksmiths work. Drawn to the physicality of the work
Interior of forge depicted as a place of wonder and marvel - anvil as a writers desk - 'unicorn' 'magical'
childs perspective - fascinated, in awe, childlike sense of wonder, childhood mentality
Changing world - blacksmith watches the cars passing - horseshoes he makes are hardly needed in modern world of mass produced cars
Pertrarkan sonet
First 8 lines - craft. End 6 lines - blacksmith at work
Forge as a poets mind/ imagination
'unpredictable fantail of sparks'
refers to the sound of the blacksmiths work as creating 'music'
full of sounds- 'hiss' of the hot horseshoe, 'grunts' of blacksmith, 'short pitched ring' of anvil
defiance - determination to preserve his craft in changing world
manliness - 'expends himself in shape and music' (at the anvil- writers desk)
