The use of apostrophe in the poem **helps define the speaker’s voice in relation to his “brothers,” or community.** Apostrophe is a literary device in which the speaker addresses someone who is absent or calls out to a personified idea or object. In this case, the speaker is addressing his "brothers," creating a sense of camaraderie and collective experience. The apostrophe emphasizes the community aspect and the shared desire to abandon convention for a more joyous and liberating experience.
