I can respond to how Armitage writes about personal events and memories in ‘Harmonium’.
Show transcript
Armitage wrote ‘Harmonium’ as a response to his memories of church and his relationship with his father.
Armitage suggests that you should avoid being too sentimental when writing poetry about personal events.
Instead, you need to think about how the function of a poem is to convey an emotion.
For him, he wants the emotion to be recognisable to people who may not have had the same experiences.
