Abstract
Avoiding sentimentality means writing to fight cliché and elicit emotion through originality of language. In Dig Safe, Stuart Dischell presents poetry that resonates emotionally without breeching melodrama. One poem in particular, "Children of the City," demonstrates that a careful manipulation of language helps craft a story that emulates real experiences and exposes true human nature. In addition, the use of impersonal pronouns establishes a distance from the poem that encourages a more objective and therefore less sentimental reading. Breaking down such deliberate word and imagery choices illuminates the success of the ultimate emotional transcendence.
