  • When Are Poems Useful In Real Life?
    By: Criss White | - Poetry sounds great and romantic, yet it appears to be a somehow archaic way of expressing thoughts and emotions.

  • Poetry & Its Evolution Into The Modern Form
    By: Steven N Patterson | - While it is very difficult to define poetry, it can be said that poetry is the language of the heart.

  • The Purpose Of Poems -- Romantic And Nature
    By: Ben Mester | - In my mind, poetry has but one purpose: to show us the best of things in life - not in intellectual ideals for us to ponder - poetry shows us the best of things in life by convincing our hearts that there really are things in the world worth fighting for, things worth longing for, things of a rarer substance than the humdrum malaise that often crowds our days. "When we are unhurried and wise we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute value, that petty fears and ...

  • She's So Heavy The Weight Of Death In Emily Dickinson's Poetry
    By: Paul Thomson | - The fact that Emily Dickinson is one of the most gifted, prolific, ahead-of-her-time American poets is sometimes overshadowed by the fact that she was a totally unconventional, unmarried woman who liked to deck herself out in all white. Oh yeah, and for a good chunk of her life there, she never left her house. Although Dickinson is sometimes lumped together with Transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau, her style is way too calculated (not to mention, diverse) to belong to that genre - to say ...

  • Physical And Metaphorical Walls In Poetry: "mending Wall" And "the Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock"
    By: Paul Thomson | - "Good fences makes good neighbors" is an old British proverb that Robert Frost revitalized in his 1914 poem "Mending Wall." According to the narrator's neighbor, personal space is an unavoidable part of getting along, even if the boundary between people is only psychological. What good fences don't make, however, is a whole lot of sense - especially if nature has anything to say about it.

    The narrator of the poem talks about how the groundwater freezes every winter, bulging the ground in ...

  • Lies, Innuendo And Oneupmanship In Shakespeare's Poetry: Sonnet 130 And The Fair Youth Series
    By: Paul Thomson | - Shakespeares Sonnet 130 is unique in its unglamorous portrayal of the so-called Dark Lady to whom it is addressed. In it, the narrator offers us a startlingly generous list of differences between the Dark Lady and your stereotypical beauty: she has ugly lips, a bad complexion, frizzy hair, colorless cheeks, smelly breath, an unmelodic voice, and a funky gait.

  • Shakespeare, Poetry, And The Power Of Art
    By: Paul Thomson | - Poetry can have an incredibly polarizing effect: people tend to either swear by at or swear at it. What gives? Well, aside from the fact that good poetry can be dauntingly elitist while bad poetry is, as a rule, truly god-awful, art in general is a very powerful medium and poetry is one particularly artsy and inaccessible form of art. In fact, poetry is so powerful that it can be wielded against other people. Not just in the sense of intimidating your classmates with a spiffy beret, or holding ...

Just as we had Ashbery, O'Hara, Koch, Schuyler, and Guest as the collective face of the New York School, we are now witnessing poetry history-in-the-making ...
