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

[Chris Kuell]

Hi Jennifer,

Sorry, I'm no poet, and I can't really help you with your assignment.
However, it does seem to me that you are going about it the wrong way.
Instead of specific poems, why not find a general topic, which will be
easier to find poems in which to compare? For instance, google slam poetry
and social justice. Then google poetry before 1950 and social justice, and
see what you find. Then you can compare/contrast styles, language, subtlety,
accessibility,impact, and so on.

Just my thoughts. Good luck.

Chris

comparison assignment

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
