Explanation:
Margaret Atwood's poem, "In the Secular Night," features qualities of the term "loose musing," which is redundant but can also be considered an oxymoron. Poets muse when they simply think in a ruminating fashion, searching the images that occur, retaining some, rejecting others, then making connections. "Loose musing" leaves out the connections, runs past the retaining/rejecting stage—presenting whatever has occurred as if by a self-inflated, divine decree.
Many postmodern poets' pieces are the result of nothing but this type of musing without cogent thought with connections. They build no bridges for the reader/listener; they seem to expect the reader will adore them for putting words on paper in a poetic column. While loose-musing can be a useful first step in creating a superb poetic drama, when poets fail to go beyond that first step, it results in silly, unconnected, solipsistic discourse, of which this piece and most Atwoodian pieces are guilty examples.
