In Tony Hoagland's poem "America," some examples of allusion include references to famous historical figures like Mickey Mantle and Ansel Adams, which help evoke a sense of American culture and history. Imagery is prevalent throughout the poem, with vivid descriptions such as "hamburger meat as shiny as wax paper" and "the man next to me at the movies / he is jiggling fake leg." These images create a stark and sometimes surreal picture of contemporary American life.
