I can compare how Robinson, Nichols, and Antrobus use language, form and structure to explore ideas of nature and identity in their poems.

Show transcript
Arguably, Robinson’s use of sensory language creates a sense of comfort while Antrobus creates a sense of discomfort. Arguably, both Nichols and Antrobus subvert poetic forms in order to critique humanity’s relationship with nature. Nichols’ use of irregularity may reflect the uncertainty of the planet’s future due to anthropogenic climate change. In contrast, Robinson’s use of irregularity may reflect the sense of freedom from daily life that “paradise” brings.
