“Hearing Voices” Hogan uses the example of Barbara McClintontock’s research by listening to the language of the continent and its people. What Hogan means when she says the function of poetry is to be a “language that wants to bring back together what the other words have torn apart” is that poetry speaks a form of truth that is often otherwise disguised. For Hogan, the practice of poetry is a kind of witnessing of the plight of the disadvantaged because it opens the mind to the true meaning of endurace faced by those who struggle. The story of Betty William illustrates the theme of responsibility that Hogan believes poetry should accomplish because William refused to be silent.
