Abstract:

This paper answers key questions raised in the pursuit of “poetics” for the writer. A research that is both personal and introspective, it examines the major influences of the writer’s poetics, as well as maps out the development of the writer’s craft, the foreseen directions, and the dominant themes in his recent poems.
