Analyzing the use of imagery
ery
what can readers learn from analyzing imagery in this
stanza?
in chicago, it is snowing softly
and a man has just done his wash for the week.
he steps into the twilight of early evening,
carrying a wrinkled shopping bag
full of neatly folded clothes,
and, for a moment, enjoys
the feel of warm laundry and crinkled paper,
flannellike against his gloveless hands.

what it is like to be in the poet's shoes
what the speaker is seeing, hearing, and feeling
