hello
The present paper concerns itself with a stylistic analysis of the selected poem " The Bus'. The Bus belongs to the collection of poems titled Jejuri. It was written by Arun Kolatkar (1932-2004) in 1976. Published in the same year, the collection consists of thirty one poems; each dealing with different aspects of the place called Jejuri in Maharashtra. The poem offers a variety of linguistic peculiarities and hence is selected for its stylistic analysis. This paper adopts close reading and textual analysis of linguistic aspects, such as phonological and phonetic, lexical, semantic, syntactic and graphological, as a method of textual and stylistic analysis of the poem under consideration. It is further claimed that the meaning of a text is the fusion of all the above mentioned levels present in every text. Hence all individual linguistic categories, such as sounds, words, sentences and their meanings and the arrangement of words and sentences on the actual pages, complement one another and convey a complete message. First, the phonological/phonetic or sounds and sound patterns of a poem are analyzed because they tend to contribute to the overall tone and meaning of the poem. Second, Coleridge defines poetry as " best words in best order ". This definition itself marks the importance o f lexical patterns in poetry. The desired meaning in poetry is usually achieved through careful selection of meaningful and suitable words according to the context and subject matter of the poem. Third, syntactic analysis deals with the kinds of sentence structures used with regard to their importance in a text. Additionally, semantic level tries to analyze meanings of words and sentences. Finally, graphology concerns itself with how a poem gets projected on page and its contribution and visual significance as one of the media of conveying the message of a text.
