Exploring Poets
The three poets I was thinking about are Alfred Corn, Ravi Shankar, and Robert Frost. I looked at Alfred Corn because I enjoyed his poem Naskeag I reminded me of a vacation to main last summer. Ravi Shankar looked interesting he is going to Central Connecticut State University because that is was most of my family lives. The most enticing thing about these poets is that all write nature poems, but I’ve decided to go with Robert Frost. I think his poetry is the most meaning full of all, my favored poem by him is that “the road not taken”. It shows that if you stray from the norm that it may be harder but you will achieve more happiness and satisfaction buy going the extra mile.
I have enjoyed finding the meaning of the poems with the class. It gives people the chance make connections to the poetry that they wouldn’t on the own, you have a chance to expand on others ideas and explanations of the poetry. As a class you can form a broader explanation of the poems and find deeper meanings.
