FROM SOIL TO SOUL: A STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF PHONOLOGICAL PARALLELISM IN FARZANA AQIB’S POEM

Abstract

This paper offers a stylistic analysis of Farzana Aqib’s poem From Soil to Soul (2021), highlighting its use of phonological parallelism. The poem’s resilient tone is conveyed through repetition of sounds and the careful alignment of its meaning. Employing the stylistic tools of phonological patterning, this study investigates how the poet affirms human value and existential connectivity, even in fragmentation. The research is based on qualitative content analysis with a stylistic framework.
