Question

Your attention please poem by peter porter analysis

Answer 1

Peter Porter’s “Your Attention Please” reflects the disarray and disastrous state of affairs of the contemporary times. It echoes the theme of death, division and decline as does the poems “An Exequy”, ”The Delegate”, ”The Easiest Room in Hell.”.etc. Peter Porter always juxtaposed the power of art against the degrading powers of applied science and technology. In the “famous and oft-published two minute warning”,the warning stands not as a forewarning for those people alone, rather it is a pointer for humanity in general.
