The quote said by Robert Hass, “Images haunt”, really stuck with me and made me sit with my thoughts. Which in a way, proves his point. Images stick in our heads for some time as we perceive them. The concept of imaging haunting someone in a poem can be seen from both ways, that being, the narrator and/or the reader. I appreciate how as the chapter’s focus is imagery, the text is full of very detailed descriptions to haunt the reader as they read along. The chapter compares how going to the movies is “like being alive twice”. I see it as an escape from reality but I’ve never looked at it like that before. After doing so, I’d have to say I agree. The use of color can really make a story pop. Images can be perceived as not always visual because they aren’t always. An image can be something you picture in your head as you read a description. Or even sound. The more sense of image created in your story-telling poem, the more experience you are giving the poem. The goal of a poet is to make the reader picture your words. When an image is doing its job right, it has the ability to direct the reader towards insight. The importance of story-telling is quite literally telling the story. It’s a matter of doing it right. There’s no story without description. If not, you are simply just spitting words at the reader. The use of verbs, adjectives, personification, etc, is what brings the story to life. The author suggests you pay close attention to your surroundings, auditory and visual to incorporate them into your poem. She also emphasizes on the fact that in a poem everything will fall into place—tie together in some way.
