[stylist] question about poems for Eng 510 Studying the Craftcomparison assignment

[Lynda Lambert]

Not sure what you mean by similar...but you can see what other poets have 
done, or are currently doing, with the same theme and that would probably be 
more interesting and a better challenge for this level of course. A 10 page 
paper sounds like a very small research project - my undergrad students 
wrote 20-page papers in my lit. courses.
Check out Yusef Komanyukaa for starters...you could contrast what a minority 
poet does with the same theme as Frost used...look into the "world view" 
that each poet is shoowing in their work...every creative person reflects 
their own world view in all they produce - and, as well, the Zeitgeist of 
the generation and culture in which he/she lived and that is a great place 
to begin, too.  Think across disciplines - how does this theme, image, 
reflection show up in literature, fine art, philosophy, etc.

Hello all,



For English 510 I have to compare a classic poem to a contemporary poem for
a major paper (10 pages) due two and a half months from when class starts on
Monday. Does any one know if there are poems written from 2000 to the
present which are similar to Robert Frost's poems, "Blueberries" or "After
Apple-picking."



Thank you,



Jennifer Applegate
