[10m] Name these two poets. A poem by the elder one that opens “wade / through black jade” shares a title with a poem by the younger one that describes a creature whose “brown skin hung in strips / like ancient wallpaper.”
ANSWER: Marianne Moore and Elizabeth Bishop (Those poems are both titled “The Fish.”)
[10e] All of the rhymes in Moore’s “The Fish” use this poetic technique in which a syntactic or semantic unit spills over one line onto another.
ANSWER: enjambment
[10h] “The Fish” shows Moore’s fondness for this rare type of rhyme, which pairs a one-syllable word with the stressed non-final syllable of a multisyllabic word. An example of this from the poem is the rhyme of “lack” with the “ac-” of “accident.”
ANSWER: apocopated (“uh-POCK-uh-pated”) rhyme [accept apocope (“uh-POCK-uh-pee”)]
