Where it came from
Published in 1994, this work serves as an academic examination of the intersection between direct speech and narrative structure within the poetry of Federico García Lorca, W.H. Auden, Jorge Luis Borges, and Derek Walcott. Originating as a master's thesis at the University of Toronto, the text explores how these four distinct literary voices utilize colloquialism and dialogue to ground their verse, bridging the gap between dramatic artifice and poetic intimacy.
The analysis reflects a broader mid-nineties scholarly interest in the formal mechanics of modern poetry, specifically regarding how narrative elements influence linguistic texture. Richard Sanger, himself a noted poet and critic, approaches these figures with a focus on their technical choices, aiming to decode the stylistic economy that allows speech to function as both a thematic device and a structural anchor within their respective bodies of work.
