The Artist as Lefthander
Stephen Dunn
i noticed that the first line of hte poem is long compared to the others. He talks about sleep, maybe the form of the sentence is refecting his perception of time as a 'dreamer'/ artist?
Following the second sentence, the rest of the stanza is composed of short, choppy sentences. All of these short sentences seem to be mundane, plane things that he doesn't find imporant. i believe that the formation of these sentences, short and choppy, are also a reflection and expression of the mundane characteristics of the thigns he describes.
