Why does he end the section of a “dream deffered” with the poem “Island”?
The end of Montage ends with the poem “Island ” because it was probaly his dream home and he really could have related to it. Or maybe he decided to end montage with a setting descripition of where his whole Monatge took place. For example, you now like in a play usually it ends with a narrator describing the last scene of the whole thing. In Monatge everything took place in a place, “Between two rivers, / North of the park, / Like darker rivers / The streets are dark” (1-4). In additon the poem ends with “Good morning, daddy! Ain’t you heard?” (11-12). Where have you heard these lines before? They are the first two lines in the first poem of Montage, “Dream Boogie” (221). Its like a chain, it ended but then it just started at the same time. Its like life, it tends to repeat itself.
