What is the author's style in The Belle of Amherst by William Luce?

Language is probably the most important stylistic point of the play. The author, William Luce, describes the play as a "love affair with language." Throughout the play, Emily collects words that inspire her. She believes that as a poet, it is her responsibility to use only the best words for her work. The language of Emily's monologue is lyrical and poetic. The monologue is only broken by her poems.
