condensation of all language strengths combined in an integrated manner
in the E-Poetry "Edrus Poetry Collection." This study used a qualitative
descriptive method. The data source is from a collection of poems
published in March 2020 by Farha Pustaka publisher. The data collection
technique used is reading, listening, and taking notes (snippet) techniques.
The study techniques include: (i) data identification, (ii) data reduction, (iii)
data classification according to problem formulation, and (iv) inductive
data analysis. The research data are 17 poems from 67 poems in the poetry
collection. The results show that in e-poetry, there are images of visual,
hearing, touch, and motion. Visual images dominate imagery. In the
analysis of the strata of the meaning layer, there is the use of figurative
language, imagery, and figures of speech in poetry that can expand the
meaning and add to the poem's beauty. Edrus' collection of poems
described the imagery and layers of meaning that can enrich the
interpretation in the poem.
