What is meant by "the lyric 'I' "

I came across this reference while reading poetry by Olena Davis.



Comments:

the lyric “I” = THE LYRIC ONE .
Lyric poetry is a form of poetry that does not attempt to tell a story, as do epic poetry and dramatic poetry, but is of a more personal nature instead. Rather than portraying characters and actions, the lyric poet addresses the reader directly, portraying his or her own feelings, states of mind, and perceptions.

Although its name, from the word lyre, implies that it is meant to be sung, this is not always the case; much lyric poetry is purely meant to be read.

Could there be such a concept?

Is there an “I”

without

some “you?”
