Read Without Title, by Diane Glancy
Why does the speaker begin by sharing details that no longer belong to her father’s life in without title
Answer: The author´s use of the buffalo, the shaman, and the arrow at the beginning of the poem represent the cultural traditions her father has lost.
Explanation:
Those items represent the cultural identity of both the speaker and the father, lost because he had to go to work in the city. The full name of the poem (Without Title; for my Father who lived without ceremony) refers to him not being able to complete the vision quest that would have given him a title as a symbol of his spiritual maturity.
