Poet Report
Directions
I’m more interested in an informal report that covers the
following:
- Title
of the book you’ve read this semester
- A
brief biography of the poet
- A copy
of the poem you’ve liked best from the book with an explication of why you
think this poem works in the context of what you’ve studied this semester.
- In
other words how does this poem fulfill the requirements of one of the
poem “types” you’ve written for this class. (i.e. is it a prose poem,
free verse, sectioned, keeps the “I” out of the poem, is outward looking)
- How
you think this poet influenced your work this semester or might influence
your work in the future.
