Elizabeth Bishop's " One Art "


The poem consists of authoritarian model of writing , in which the author shows tendency to repeat lines. 
This line is repeated throughout the poem to reinforce the importance of the line. By doing this, the reader gains a deeper perception of understanding because of such repetition. It implies the fact that  modern traditions and society forces us as people to hide our feelings and emotions.In my opinion, I think that this poem appears to be a relatively complicated story of a women who is desperately trying to convince herself that loosing various things such as people, places, and things, is not a problem for her.  Bishop used repetition to try and convince herself of the things she was writing but eventually knew it was not the case.
