Absence, and Loss in Mark Strand's Blizzard of One
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Pulitzer Prize winner collection Blizzard of One (1998) by the American-Canadian poet Mark Strand (1934 - 2014) voices Strand's preoccupation with themes of loss and absence. This is usually accomplished through nostalgic setting and surreal imagery. This paper discusses the use of such themes like loss and absence in the secelted poems from the collection Blizzard of One. The paper concludes that the awareness of absence is one remarkable feature of Strand’s poetry.
