Definition
In poetry and rhetoric, a reversal or breaking of the expected metrical pattern, or the bending back of a line.
Etymology
From Greek anaklasis (breaking back), from ana- (back) plus klasis (breaking, from klan 'to break'). This technical literary term describes disruptions in metric structure.
Kelly Says
When a poet suddenly breaks their rhythm pattern, they're using anaclasis—it can be jarring to readers' ears, but sometimes that jarring feeling is exactly what the poet wants to create emotional impact!
