2. An explication is a way of meticulously analyzing a literary text to derive meaning. In an explication, no detail is too small for analysis – this includes details like word choice and word order, but also the form of the poem, as well, including details such as spacing, rhyme, patterns, punctuation, etc. An explication also looks at both the context and form of a poem.
