Abstract or Introduction

Carl Sandburg once said that "poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." Echo here refers to multiple appearances of imagery in a poem, which allows readers to think freely on a topic that the poet wants to bring about with such imagery. This essay would study the poems Alternative Names of Black Boys by Danez Smith, The Walk by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Eclipse by C. Dale Young respectively, which all contain imageries of light, although they talk about different topics, and allow different 'shadows' to dance.
