| Sumario: | This article is an application of concepts to the reading of poetry borrowed from Jonathan Culler's Structuralist Poetics: Structuralism, Linguistics and the Study of Literature (Cornell University Press, 1975). I also use Roland Barthes' language codes; hermeneutic, semantic, symbolic, actional and cultural-referential demonstrated in his well-known text S/Z, with slight modifications for their application as well. The discourse advocated by Culler was itself explored earlier and developed by Bulgarian/French historian Tzvetan Todorov in a reading method called Poetics, not to be confused with Aristotelian poetics. These concepts have been previously applied to literary fiction, though they have never been systematically applied to the reading of poetry. This is the sixth article in applied poetics published utilising this methodology since 2019.
