War photographer

• "Spools of suffering set out in ordered rows"

  • Sibilance, sinister tone and atmosphere mirroring his distress
  • Even tho far away from war, can't detach mentally from what he saw
  • Craves peace and silence, juxtapose the chaos he witnessed
  • Images are alive and Haunting him
  • 'Ordered rows', juxtapose chaos.
  • Desperate to gain some control
  • Emotional state is all over the place
  • Symbolise coffins, death imagery is constantly in his mind
  • Disorientation reinforced through enjambment, feelings being poured into pages
