Lyric Poetry: The Pain and the Pleasure of Words
Mutlu Blasing
Argues that the individual in a lyric is only a virtual entity and that lyric poetry takes its power from the public, emotional power of language itself. This work proposes that lyric poetry is a public discourse rooted in the mother tongue. It demonstrates the ways that the lyric "I" speaks, from first to last, as a creation of poetic language.
