Who Burns for the Perfection of Paper by Martin Espada


Who Burns for the Perfection of Paper
by Martin Espada


I believe that the theme of this poem that I linked is that hard work can take you places. I believe this because of the quote:”Ten years later, in law school, I knew that every legal pad was glued with the sting of hidden cuts, that every open law book was a pair of hands upturned and burning.”
I think the poetic device that was used is Imagery which is when something appeals
to the five senses (touch,sight, taste, smell, sound).
