Poems of Meaning and Symbolism Jeffrey B Holl

While peering through the window of time and experience, a mind perceives a reflection of a secluded world that resembles the perception of another as much as it does itself. Through limitable resignation, a glimpse into what it is to be human is revealed both of its purposive meaning, and within its symbolic incantation as what may compel a life to accept the presence of Self through itself and its Other. As language is the medium by which all forms of communication find their existence in reality, both the signifying components of poetry and its representative discourse, may expose reality to authentic elegiac suspicions-gathering the symbolic dimension of this life from the core of its experience toward a complete realization of the nature by which it conforms to the structures of belief posited by the presuppositions of those for whom reality is sometimes difficult and unappealing-most notably where judgment becomes so much a part of the way in which we perceive ourselves as others. Through a delicate expository endeavor to compel the reader, herein the poet is subsumed to the causes of what concedes nothing of the self to its known articulation of the aesthetic domain from which the written word is sometimes able to reproduce clear conceptions- purposive of meaning and its symbolic counterpoint in a reality that is as imagined as it is revealed, through a developed state of inner awareness and perceptual actualities.
