In answering that latter question, we must come to a full understanding of “Begotten”. In obtaining that understanding we must first acknowledge that this poem, by Andrew Hudgins, is a reflection of the author’s own childhood fears. He lets the reader warmly into the confines of a childhood that was less than his version of idyllic. And he does so by using creative language and incorporating all of the possible meanings of the word “Begotten”.

In your view, how have poetic techniques been used to reveal memorable ideas in Harwood’s poetry? Harwood’s widespread encapsulations of human experiences are recognised through her distinctive poetry, “The Violets” and “father and child”. Harwood explores the intrinsic forces of memories and mortality as its essence immensely influences our shaping an individual’s perspective and understanding, highlighted by the structured format. Through the nostalgic and melancholic atmospheres of her poems, Harwood journeys unto the universal themes of childhood and the penetration of time through memories, accumulated in the course of human experiences.

"Poems are works of science." That one thought remained foremost in Edgar Allan Poe's head as he wrote. A touch of well-known depression, a touch of so-close-yet-so-far-away joy, and he could weave a tale of a miserable existence.

Born on January 19, 1809, Edgar Allan Poe grew up in Boston, Massachusetts.
