A theoretical approach to the poetry of David Rosenmann-Taubbegins with a formalist analysis that provides the reader with a basic understanding of the poem. It then incorporates Paul Ricoeur’shermeneutical strategies, such as the search for traces of unobservable phenomena that lie outside the text, the use of the imagination,exemplification through metaphorical representation and the reader’sintegration of the text with his or her lived experience, to extendand expand that understanding. This two-pronged approach is appliedto the study of one of Rosenmann-Taub’s poems, with the goalof accessing the profound personal and multidimensional meanings inscribed in his opus.Downloads
