Shadow speaks to the surface of the earth but only presents itself when and where it is asked to it has to maneuver swiftly and silently without being heard. The speaker dissects and analyzes language to a point where the unstructured becomes a pattern of thought, adjustment, and statement. This constant train of thought dims the light in words and creates heaviness that weighs down the pureness of the speaker’s ideas.ĭarkness travels through the other poems. In “How the Light Is Spent,” Giannelli exposes the light attempting to creep out. In these lines comes the feeling of discomfort and uncertainty through the presence of light. Giannelli makes it known that light does not reach dark places but rather creates the start of darkness. It becomes of importance for the light to interact with the dark due to the creation of shadow.
In order to cast an escape route, there must be darkness. He goes as far as to personify light by expressing that the light makes a conscious decision. Light has boundaries and restriction that it places upon itself. It acts like a visitor that enters when needed and exits when no longer needed. This time, insomnia is being personified: The poem, “My Insomnia,” continues the task of personification and how light is used for a purpose. …my insomnia holds a flashlight under the covers-īut to reduce the visible world to an amendable gleam, My insomnia. What’s especially great about these three lines is the way Giannelli begins and ends lines with “my insomnia.” This repetition focuses on the real struggle and how insomnia tries different tactics to overcome its own wants and needs. It maneuvers through light and dark trying to find a way out without being discovered. The speaker attempts to plays with the image of reality by covering up any wants, creating a façade for society.
The poems flip expectations by speaking about difficulties and depicting the fixes as if their issues are human-like. He continues:Īnd never stoops to espresso or methamphetamine. Throughout Tremulous Hinge, Giannelli aims to convey the struggles of communication within society by painting an image of the roles light and dark play. His poetry navigates twists and turns that reveals the selfishness of the world. It pulls at the strings of everyday normality, of loom and glow.Īminah Abutayeb is an Adjunct Professor at William Paterson University.
