Four to five sentences for each of the questions below, please.
Focus on clear, accurate analysis.

maintained throughout the poem. Identify these and discuss how they affect the tone
and momentum of the poem.
2) What techniques does the poet use to make the surreal situation convincing?
3) Look at images and modes of travel in the poem. What do these suggest about the
woman’s past and her attitude towards it?
4) Think about the town which is mapped onto the woman’s body. What kind of a place is
