In Amy Lowell’s imagist poem, “This Green Bowl,” a handmade bowl is compared to a pond in the woods. Can one say that, as in Pound’s “Cantos,” this poem’s dominant tone is impersonal? Why, or why not ? |
| A. | Yes, Lowell’s detailed description of nature draws attention away from human realities. |
| B. | Yes, the lyrical voice in Lowell’s poem seeks to express universal rather than individual experience. |
| C. | No, Lowell’s poem is not impersonal; it addresses the maker of the bowl directly and speculates about his state of mind. |
| D. | No, even though Lowell strives for impersonal expression by borrowing poetic devices from Pound, she fails to accomplish this |
