Other Comments: This poem, described as a "drama of literary anguish", is about a narrator who deals with sexual and social frustration. The sensory details are beautiful and often personify inhuman objects with vivid detail. Also, there is a lot of colors mentioned such as yellow, red, brown, black and white. Finally, the last three lines of the poem leave the reader with a sense of foreboding. I love this poem because it shows a vulnerable, flawed, human narrator.
