Paper Summary:
The paper offers an analysis of how the themes of aging and mortality are illustrated by poets Sharon Olds and Linda Pastan in their respective works "The Unswept Room" and "The Last Uncle." The paper includes examples from their poems.From the Paper:
"Both Linda Pastan's "The Last Uncle" and Sharon Olds' "The Unswept Room" deal with themes of mortality and aging but in quite distinct ways. Pastan's poems in "The Last Uncle" deal primarily with loss, death and the aging process and their impact on the individual. However as McKee notes in his review of the collection: In these careful insightful considerations of time and its occasional rough edges the poet finds much to celebrate."More papers on Mortality and Poetry:
