Employing Stephen Burt's description of the nearly Baroque, Baroque Baroque, and rococo to categorize kinds of poems, techniques such as syntax, alliteration, assonance, and rhythm are identified and addressed in various contemporary poems from Karen Volkman, Lucie Brock-Broido, and Jorie Graham. The study concludes by identifying how the techniques may affect the writer's creative work. application/pdf en_US Jorie Graham Karen Volkman Lucie Brock-Broido Poetry Sound Sound play Creative writing English literature english Breaking (Down) the Sound Barrier: Explorations of Sound Patterning as a Distinct and Disparate Layer of Meaning Thesis Restrict to UW for 5 years -- then make Open Access 2021-06-18T16:40:43Z open.access
