 In Your Mind

         The other country, is it anticipated or half-remembered?

         Its language is muffled by the rain which falls all afternoon

         one autumn in England, and in your mind

         you put aside your work and head for the airport

(5)    with a credit card and a warm coat you will leave

         on the plane. The past fades like newsprint in the sun.


         You know people there. Their faces are photographs

         on the wrong side of your eyes. A beautiful boy

         in the bar on the harbour serves you a drink - what? -

(10)  asks you if men could possibly land on the moon.

         A moon like an orange drawn by a child. No.

         Never. You watch it peel itself into the sea.


         Sleep. The rasp of carpentry wakes you. On the wall,

         a painting lost for thirty years renders the room yours.

(15)  Of course. You go to your job, right at the old hotel, left,

         then left again. You love your job. Apt sounds

         mark the passing of the hours. Seagulls. Bells. A flute

         practicing scales. You swap a coin for a fish on the way home.


         Then suddenly you are lost but not lost, dawdling

(20)  on the blue bridge, watching six swans vanish

         under your feet. The certainty of a place turns on the lights

         all over town, turns up the scent on the air. For a moment

         you are there, in the other country, knowing its name.

         And then a desk. A newspaper. A window. English rain.


Paraphrase

Despite the “other country” feeling like home, the narrator struggles to remember it and the memories they had–people, settings, etc. They daydream, walking around the city and admiring its qualities. Finally, the speaker is thrust back into their real city, finding some comfort in the familiarity of his surroundings.

Speaker

The speaker of the poem is looking for an escape to their current situation, daydreaming about being in another country. It’s suggested that they daydream often—so much so that there are familiar faces and landmarks in this other country. The vivid daydream suggests that they’re artistic and creative.

Figurative Language

“in your mind

you put aside your work and head for the airport”

The use of metaphor in this line helps develop the idea that daydreaming is equivalent to temporarily leaving this world, an escape from your current situation/environment. By saying that you “put aside your work” before heading “for the airport,” it’s implied that the speaker is going on vacation (Duffy 3). The speaker utilizes these actions as a metaphor to suggest daydreaming mirrors going on vacation–they begin by you going to the airport in order to fly to a new destination.


“Their faces are photographs

on the wrong side of your eyes.”

This statement utilizes metaphor in order to suggest that memories become distorted with time, altering our perceptions of previous relationships. The speaker explains how faces on the street are “photographs on the wrong side” of their “eyes,” (Duffy 7). This highlights how though they somewhat remember the faces of people, they’re oriented incorrectly, distorting their perceptions. This is further suggested with the image of the photographs being on the speaker's “eyes,” which are how we perceive the world–and other people. If our memories–the photographs–are distorted, this affects our image of people within them.


“And then a desk. A newspaper. A

window. English rain.”

The repetition and use of short statements to describe the speaker’s environment contributes to the sense of familiarity. By briefly listing out the objects as separate statements, the short, fragmented feeling highlights the repetition, suggesting that they’re familiar with this environment. The speaker has seen the “desk…, newspaper…, window…,” and “English rain” countless times before. This further develops the idea that the speaker has returned to reality after ending their daydream.

Attitude/Tone

Tones: Wistful, dreamy, nostalgic


This tone is created through vivid imagery, metaphors, and contrast created between the speaker’s daydream and their reality in England. It aids us visualize the speaker’s daydream and deepens their sense of dissatisfaction with the real world.

Shifts

Shifts: Line 5

           Line 24


These shifts mark the transition from reality to daydream, and then daydream to reality. This is significant because the contrast created between the two settings highlights the speaker’s unhappiness with their real environment and emphasizes why they’re trying so desperately to escape.

Tension

Tension is created through the speaker’s internal conflict and their urge to escape reality by daydreaming. Multiple types of contrast are used to develop this: daydream vs. reality, past vs. present, and vivid vs. dull imagery. This is significant because it highlights the dullness of the speaker’s daily life, demonstrating why they want an escape.

Theme

This poem is attempting to highlight the extent to which your mind can facilitate an escape from reality, and how it's shaped by your memories. It reflects the boundary between reality and dreams, suggesting that the mind’s vivid imaginations can compete with reality. However, it also emphasizes the inevitable return to reality, symbolized through repetition and a lack of interesting imagery.

Here Nor There

by Clint Smith, 2019


       New Orleans is a bouquet of pixelated memories.

       A caravan of embers that refuse to turn to ash.

       I have tried to write these poems before, you know,

       the ones about the infamous storm & its majestic


(5)  violence. The flood water that swallowed a city

       & then sat still as night. I think often of the things

       it took from us that we’ll never know we could

       have had. Counterfactuals have always been a bed


       of thorns in a room with nowhere else to lay your

(10) head. To imagine what could have been but never

       was. The Christmases with my children in the home

       where I once opened presents. Kicking a soccer ball


       with my daughter against the same playground wall

       where I imagined a life of goals & glory. That home

(15) is now silent as a sky of smoke. That wall is no longer 

       a wall but a smattering of bricks in a lonely field.


       I tremble at what I already know is likely, that my

       children will not know this city beyond the holidays

       & funerals that bring them here. That I no longer

(20) know the city I have always worn like a tattoo.


       Nostalgia is a well-intentioned wound. I still remember

       the city as something it was kept from becoming.

       I am still looking for a language not covered in ash.

       I am still mourning the loss of a life that never was.


Paraphrase

The speaker highlights the drastic change Hurricane Katrina inflicted on New Orleans, and how the flood water swallowed parts of their childhood. They mourn the past, and the loss for future generations.

Figurative Language

“A bouquet of pixelated memories.”

The poem utilizes contrasting connotations to highlight the significance of the change brought by the hurricane. By describing it as a “bouquet,” which has positive, often celebratory connotations, the speaker develops the sense that they cherish and celebrate their childhood memories in New Orleans. However, they create contrast with the use of the word “pixelated,” which suggests that the memories have been distorted and are no longer visible for future generations.


“I no longer

know the city I have always worn like a tattoo.”

This line utilizes simile within a metaphor in order to illustrate the extent to which the speaker had been familiar with the city. The metaphor that she’d “worn it” highlights her familiarity, and this is further emphasized by saying it mirrored “a tattoo”-- a permanent marking on one’s skin.


“Nostalgia is a well-intentioned wound.”

This line utilizes metaphor in order to convey that nostalgia is a double edged sword–though the memories are pleasant and “well-intentioned,” remembering the past can often be painful. This is reflected throughout the speaker’s descriptions of mourning the loss of her childhood memories due to the hurricane.

Shifts

Line 14–Shifts from remembering to mourning for future generations


This shift is significant because it reveals the speaker’s emotions and thoughts concerning the hurricane–it evaluates the significance of the storm. Not only does it develop the extent to which it will affect them, but it also highlights effects on future generations of children growing up in New Orleans.

Theme

The poem illustrates the extent to which people are affected by/hold onto memories and locations from their childhood. It also highlights the emotional devastation brought by storms that is often overlooked by the physical death and destruction. Lastly, it attempts to convey the difficulty of explaining a past that no longer exists to future generations.

Desdemona is traditional in the sense that she doesn’t stand up for herself–she lets herself be controlled by the men in her lives, to whom she remains loyal. However, she’s also a rebel; she disobeys social expectations in order to marry Othello, despite his “inferior” race.
