Keeping Things Whole

                      Keeping Things Whole
Summary
       The poem, Keeping Things Whole was composed by a Canadian Poet, Mark Strand. In this poem the poet presents the fragmentation talking place among things and people giving rise to the feeling of chaos, alienation, exile and identify crisis. So, he pleads for unity, integration and wholeness.
     The people and things in this world have been fragmented because of politics, religion, cast system, economy geography and so on. This fragmentation has given rise to the feeling of chaos, alienation, exile and identify crisis. The speaker of this poem feels exactly the same. When he goes to a field, he finds himself detached, dislocated and missing. It is always the case wherever he goes, he finds himself alienated and missing.
    When he walks, he divides the air and the divided air goes back to fill in the empty space. As the people of this world have different goals and destinations, they have to move for different reasons. The speaker moves to bring unity integration and wholeness among people and things.
          In this poem, the poet might be trying to say that though we claim to bring unity, integration and wholeness among things and people, fragmentation keeps on taking place all the times.
