Anotace

V originále

Aligning with the conference theme of “In/Outside the Frame,” this paper centers on the collaboration between poet W.D. Snodgrass and painter DeLoss McGraw, culminating in their joint collection entitled The Death of Cock Robin. By examining the intersection of text and image in the book, the paper offers a fresh perspective on Snodgrass’ oeuvre, which is traditionally associated with the “confessional” school of poetry. The overarching goal is to emphasize the highly experimental nature of the work by highlighting the techniques implemented in the (re)telling of the Cock Robin story, known from the traditional English nursery rhyme. The analysis primarily focuses on the character of “W.D.,” originally created by McGraw and later given voice by Snodgrass in the respective poems, aiming to demonstrate the character’s identification with the bird, whose death symbolizes the loss of innocence and naivety.
