About this title

Synopsis

Discourse on Language is a beautifully crafted poem and the significance of language in everyday life is delicately explored. The principal theme of the poem is a man's celebration of his lover's beauty and kindness and his promise, despite the trials and tribulations of life, to love her even when age, the spoiler of youth, has thrown its web across the vitality of the heart. Another theme explored is the relationship of poetry to the exploration of language. Raye has made a deliberate attempt to eradicate the need for punctuation and still manages to maintain the flow of rhythm and at the same time weaving secret stories between metaphors using inventive literary devices using rhythms consistent with the music of jazz.

About the Author
