About this ebook:
This book by National Artist for Literature Edith L. Tiempo is the companion piece to her Six Uses of Fictional Symbols (UP Press, 2004). It examines what its title offers: Six Poetry Formats and the Transforming Image. By her clear and sensitive analysis of numerous poems, “Mom Edith”—her title of affection with several generations of writers—shows that poetry requires the structuring of metaphor and the judicious use of “internal poetic tools” such as ambivalence, inversion, paradox, inventive diction, and tone control.Here are poems by our own poets in English, among them, Gémino H. Abad, Nick Joaquin, Rowena T. Torrevillas, and Alfred A. Yuson, and poems by English and American poets, among them, Patrizia Cavalli, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Jenning, and Denise Levertov. Mom Edith’s close reading in their poems and explication of their poetic technique demonstrate her thesis that a verbal construct, whether in free verse or in any of the traditional forms, achieves poetry only through its metaphoric structure and transforming image of a meaningful human experience.Here then is a National Artist’s inestimable gift to all writers, literary scholars, and critics who cheris the life of the imagination.
