An anagram is a pattern in which the words in a statement, speech, or notion are inverted. Poets frequently utilize anastrophe to assist preserve rhythm or a rhyme scheme. Though anastrophe is used less frequently in writing, it is frequently utilized to convey a feeling of depth or knowledge in the words being written. For example, a writer might use anastrophe to indicate that something is one's "fault" or "responsibility". An author also might use anastrophe to show respect for someone who has done them harm by referring to them as "he/she/they". In poetry, anastrophe is used when replicating sounds or syllables for effect. For example, if a poet wanted to write a line that ended with an "a", but didn't want to use repetition and have it sound like two instances of the letter "a", he or she would insert anastrophe into the poem to break up the monotony of the letter sequence "aa". Writers often use anastrophe to create a sense of harmony between the different parts of a work of literature. For example, if a writer wants to emphasize the end of a chapter or section of a book, they could insert an anagram at the beginning of the next chapter or section to connect the two ideas together. Finally, writers might use anastrophe to express regret or apologize.
