The audio is about the process of multitasking inside the heart of the speaker in ‘Angina Pectoris’. His heart has gone through different emotions which signifies his own belief eventually. My work focuses on the truth that the speaker believes in during the war.

Generally speaking, childhood is portrayed as something happy or innocent. However, the poem “The Walk” interprets childhood as a collage of disciplinary, confined and realistic moments. It also defamiliarizes the notion of childhood and allows readers to reinterpret it.

The reading talks about the question and the trail of life and the point of living. Wish you could join my reading.

In the audio, I use Cyril Wong’s “Practical Aim” as an example to argue that the language in poetry is often not for practical use. In fact, it is precisely such a lack of particularity and relevance of the language in the poem that allows space for readers to relate their human experience (both universal and personal) to all those seemingly irrelevant and incoherent questions raised in the poem.

It’s an audio essay on the “Angina Pectoris” by Nazim Hikmet. It talks about the poet’s hope in preserving peace even though his heart is broken due to the war in his homeland.

The poem portrays the strong determination, bravery and unyielding belief of the speaker even though she is confined. The poet doesn’t have the freedom to talk or sing. Although she is restricted by the autocratic government, her hope doesn’t obliterate. Thus, she summons up her courage to write poems and voice her opinions. The poem conveys the speaker’s genuine and strong belief to the readers.

Everyone has their own childhood memories, either it is just ordinary or remarkable, this is what makes us unique. If I ask you to think of one piece of memory which is the most precious to you, what would it be? Some of you may say playing with you best friends in kindergarten or having your own fantastic birthday party. But well, for Legaspi, his answer would be listening to stories told by her mother or sleeping in his mother’s arm. A certain part of his childhood memories is created with his mother and he cherishes them very much. In his poem “Ode to My Mother’s Hair”, by associating his mother’s hair with the nurturing and protective figure of her, he is trying to make his own scrapbook of his beautiful childhood. Here in my audio essay, I will analyse his poem and shows you how his childhood is represented in scraps of memories of him and his mother.

: I am going to analyze  Nazim Hikmet “Angina Pectoris” . The title means that the poet was eager to back to his hometown as he missed his hometown very much! And it is a well- known catchphrase associated with Arnold Schwarzenegge from the movie - The Terminator.  This poem is suitable for the depressed people who are needed to encourage to keep alive and make a wish for tomorrow.  My thesis is “The imagery in Nazim Hikmet “Angina Pectoris” reveals the poet’s oppression.” There are mainly two kinds of oppression in my audio essay: under the government oppression and mentally oppression

This is a poem about the poet’s unfair experience in his childhood. He lived in a bad environment which there was a leaking roof and insecure walls. However, he believed that he will go back home someday. He thought that the condition he was in was so serious that he may lose his identity, so he wanted to stop it for getting worse. His writing of the poem is an act of courage and defiance, as he revealed the truth and decided to overcome the problem instead of following the path of the unjust situation, yet risking himself the chance of being oppressed.

The poet flashes back his childhood memories connecting with his mother’s hair. The nurturing and protective image of the mother is being portrayed through different moments.

When people lose someone in their life, at first they would feel lost and sorrow, and then as time goes by the feelings disappear, because the earth never stop turning for anyone or anything, so people have to learn to move on.

This is Jennifer Ngan’s reading of “Firearm”, the maintheme of the essay is about the people are living under control of the government but they seek for freedom and the poem shows the people have a strong will to fight against the government. The poem is short yet carried sarcasm showing the braveness and of the people which also suggested that they are waiting for a more suitable moment to continue to fight against the dominant supremacy and get back their freedom.
