Abstract

The present paper discusses the description of a person and a place through feelings in the poem Where is My Farmer (2021) by Farzana Aqib. It is discussed in the paper through the Text world Theory (TWT) as an attitudinal world concept that reveals the involvement of emotions in the presentation of a text. A qualitative approach and a textual analysis will be conducted to investigate how the descriptions of the speaker of feelings of longing, yearning, and melancholy fill the landscape. As the results show, the pastoral environment in the poem is changed into an emotional one where sadness and absence are connected to memory and beauty.
