Anaphora - Scott Cairns - Bog

"The poems in this collection use anaphora--the repetition of a word or phrase--is a strategy that assists coherence, and draws attention to the repeated terms. In Eucharistic settings, it also indicates the specific liturgical moment when the bread and wine are consecrated. Certain poems in this collection employ overt anaphora; many do not. They invite a sense of words as doing more than naming." --
