Abstract

In Dream Work, Mary Oliver's poetry delivers a balance of potential and kinetic energy. One poem in particular, "Starfish," demonstrates that establishing clear relationships within a poem lies in regulating both passive and active language. However, before establishing a relationship, the speaker and other personas of a poem must be characterized-there must be a development and understanding of each individual voice to comprehend the whole of the relationship. Through managing pronouns and employing concrete imagery, Mary Oliver heightens the tension of the underlying struggle of forging a relationship with nature and enjoying the daunting aspects of the world.
