The poetry paper for this class is a research paper in the classical sense. You are to consider a variety of tools available in the school library in generating a paper which offers a biography of the poet selected at random from my list. The paper is to be both informative by supplying essential details of the life and works of the poet and analytical by sharing a few brief examples of the poet’s work and offering reasons why the poet is a worthwhile subject for study.
In considering the poet’s biography, mention the relevant details such as place and date of birth, important family members, station in life, education, careers, important accomplishments in the arts or elsewhere, how the poet was received by his or her contemporaries, and when and where the poet died, if he or she is now dead. Also consider the state of the poet’s country and world at the time he or she was working to determine if this may have had an impact on the author.
In dealing with the poet’s works, select two or more that you feel are interesting samples of his or her work. What are the subjects of the poems? What are the settings and moods? What ideas is the author trying to communicate to the audience? What techniques does the poet use?
