Read the bio and at least three poems printed for each of the poets you are assigned to study this week. As you read the poems, try to think about what is peculiar to each poet and her/his work. Look at subject matter and form, imagery, symbols, sound of words, and so on.

For your essay, select two of the poets. Using your notes on your chosen poets, write a 2 + page paper discussing similarities and differences among their poems.
