The language of the novel appears to be heavily influenced by poetic forms and patterns, thus mirroring the passion for poetry that follows Eileen throughout her life. Eileen utilizes poetry as a way of exploring oneself, promoting social and political causes, and drawing connections between seemingly disparate ideas.
