Abstract (2. Language): 
There are some resemblances between the modes of thinking and expression in Emily Dickinson's and Robert Creeley's poems. To Creeley, behind these resemblances lie the thinking and speaking habits generated by and particular to the New England area to which both poets are native. In Dickinson's and Creeley's poems consciousness appears to be a "Conscious consciousness," one that is aware of itself, with an inherent drive to check its own moves as well as those of the "physical fact" of a person. The restraint and pressure in thinking process extends to the process of speaking as well. In their poems the wish to be open fights against the desire to maintain self-control and the result is a hesitant, faltering style revealing the poet's difficulty in articulation. While this manner of writing breaks the continuity of the rhythm, it renders the possible meanings a part of the process of writing. Consequently, through rhythm Dickinson and Creeley enforce the reader to read words with a renewed attention.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Emily Dickinson ve Robert Creeley'nin düşünm e ve ifade biçimleri bazı ortak özellikler gösterir. Creeley'ye göre bu benzerliklerin gerisinde Dickinson'un ve kendisinin doğup büyüdüğü New England bölgesinin biçimlendirdiği düşünce ve dil alışkanlıkları yatmaktadır. Dickinson ve Creeley'nin şiirlerinde bilinç "kendi kendisinin farkında" olan bir bilinçtir ve denetleme dürtüsü ile hem kendisine hem de şairin "fiziksel gerçekliğine" baskı yapmaktadır. Düşünme süreci için söz konusu olan baskı ve kısıtlama, ifade süreci için de söz konusudur. Söyleme ve söylenileni denetleme dürtüleri birbiri ile çatışır ve şairin üzerinde bir baskı oluşturur. İfadede çekilen güçlük şairde tutukluk yarattığı gibi şiirin ritmini de bozar ama aynı zamanda olası anlamları şiirin yazılma sürecinin bir parçası haline dönüştürür. Sonuç olarak Dickinson ve Creeley şiirlerinde ritm yolu ile sözcükleri alışılagelmiş kullanımlarının dışına taşır.
