John Montague Full Notes and Answer on Evocative Language to Express Empathy

John Montague’s poetry offers a balanced perspective on human emotion told in a memorable way. I imagine John Montague as a very caring person: his poetry focuses on the most vulnerable in our society and their suffering in “The Wild Dog Rose” and “Like Dolmens Round My Childhood”. His warmth extends to other beings in “Killing the Pig”. The heart-wrenching narrative of his youth revealed through “The Locket” and “The Cage” is virtually free of blame; instead, it is full of kind understanding for the challenges his parents faced. The way these gentle feelings are presented is also beautiful: the attention to detail shown in his metaphors is striking. There is a distinct Yeatsian heritage in his love of Irish nature and culture. All the while, his poems are remarkably easy to read due to their clear intention and narrative structure.
