Quick Definition

The architectural arrangement of a poem around a central moment of realization.

Detailed Definition
The structural architecture organizing moments of revelation, realization, or epiphany within poetry. How the poem arranges its progression toward breakthrough understanding, whether through gradual accumulation, sudden illumination, or other patterns. Related to revelation structure and moment-of-truth pattern but emphasizes conscious design of insight's emergence. Joyce's concept of epiphany influenced modernist poetry's use of carefully structured revelation. Can involve rising action toward climax, circular return with new understanding, or juxtaposition creating sudden recognition.
