Introduction In this short essay, the author will conduct an examination of fiction in comparison to poetry and drama by drawing upon specific examples from the poem- "Summer Solstice in New York" by Sharon Olds and of drama from A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. In this essay, we will discuss what are features that define the different genres. Also, we will examine their different strengths and weaknesses. Analysis Poetry and drama share much in common. The main difference is in the length and depth of the examination of the dramatic elements. However, due to the shortness of poetry, much is left to the imagination of the reader via metaphor. Even the title is used to set up the scenery for the reader to interpret. In the opinion of the author, this leaves a staccato effect that can leave the reader grasping for the details that can be gotten more easily in a more developed plot line that is featured in drama. As an example, Sharon Olds' "Summer Solstice, New York City" is a testimony to the chaotic nature of the city. However she takes the time to bring up some intense imagery that serves as a contradiction to her character, a suicidal man. In every line of the poem, the reader is met with images such as "soft, tarry surfaces" and "red, glowing ends." It is an interesting comparison. The man has such a bleak life and wants to remove himself from the cityscape is incapable of appreciating the beauty around him. It seems like the poem should just focus on the suicidal man, but this is not so. Rather, there is a detailed discussion of the other people around him, mainly the police. There is much imagery of bulletproof vests to protect a father who is a policeman and the cops' trying to save the suicidal man. Rather than focusing upon the suicidal man's reactions, the reader sees the policemen calm him down and hold him up to preserve his life and dignity. Even the title of the poem has irony. When seeing the title "Summer Solstice, New York City", one could expect to encounter sweet poetic with children and couples holding hands. Rather, Olds chooses to go against the standard by including imagery that takes on an entirely different concept. She does this by discussing the man's suicide attempt on a beautiful day. One is left only to imagine why he wanted to kill himself. All of the above attributes come together in Olds' poem successfully (Field & Locklin, 1992, xvii).
