In her poem The Larynx, Alice Jones creates an interesting contrast between methodical and the classical. Alice amalgamates a throng of anatomical jargon, such as epiglottis flap, bronchial fork, lungs, and cartilage. Evidence such as “Under the epiglottic flap the long-ringed tude sinks its shaft down to the bronchial fork,” reveals the high-minded diction that is used to describe the movement.
