You haven't given us enough of the quotations to determine what they exemplify.
this is from my earlier post..I posted it and nobody seemed to reply..:(
This part shows at least two examples of juxtaposition.
Tragedies relegated to a three-foot pile of discarded newsprint.
Violent death and hockey scores
Isn't it also ironic that tragedies have been reduced to old newspapers stuffed in a closet? Also look at the last few lines of the poem.
"In that three foot pile now,
a dozen airliner crashes,
one earthquake in Alaska,
seventeen American soldiers
face down in Asian mud.
I could go on enumerating
like newsprint-we record
violent death&hockey scores
&keep the front room neat"
