Hi Class,
For today’s class please make sure that you have read all the poems in the yellow packet that I gave you. Also, read up to page 41 in your 101 Great American Poems book. Make sure and bring both of these to class. And after you’ve read all these poems, look up and write down definitions for the terms that we covered in last Wednesday’s class:
-Lyric poetry
-Narrative poetry
-Metaphor
-Simile
-Symbol
-Personification
-Enjambment
Bonus: What is your definition of poetry?
All this should help to prepare you for the quiz that we will have at the beginning of class.
If you have any questions, please email me.
Cheers,
Prof. Scanlan
ps. I had the name of the poet who wrote “In a Station of the Metro” wrong. Sorry. Here is the whole thing, which is by Ezra Pound in 1916:
