At first, when reading through the Diction chapter, I wasn’t sure how much of the poems are related to each other besides all acting around experiments with language. The question as to whether I should read the work as a book or as a compilation of pieces hovered above my mind.

Reading the Whereas section, seeing some of the words be used in the longer sentences, I was appreciative of the exploratory definitions she laid out before. Even without remembering precisely what was written before or going back to refresh my memory, I felt the words embedded in the overall reading.
