- Longenbach discusses the poetic language which may change egregiously by diction, figure, and syntax but shifts in tense that are so familiar, so endemic to ordinary speech that are almost inaudible. Some poems shift overtly and decisively from one tense to another while other poems shift constantly, but tense is one tool among others and there are many great lyric poems in which tense never changes at all. Poems that never stray from this tense must throw their weight on the act of enunciation by other means, often by foregrounding syntactical repetition by capitalizing on elaborate patterns of sound or by reducing the prominence of narrative information.
