After great pain a formal feeling comes. Quelques notes sur la formalisation lyrique du trauma
In this article, I first analyze the primordial link between lyric poetry and trauma, existing from the Greek origins of the genre.

I then move on to a close reading of one poem by Emily Dickinson—“After great pain a formal feeling comes”—to throw into relief the writing strategies allowing the poetic form to contain traumatic pain, both physical and psychological, caused by death. |
